MLE on bridging the gap between science and policy provides first thematic report

The European Commission has published a first thematic report in the context of the Mutual Learning Exercise on ‘Bridging the Gap Between Science and Policy’. This Thematic Report focuses on the first discussion topic about fostering knowledge-sharing within and among Science for Policy (S4P) actors. The report highlights the need to frame S4P in the broader context of knowledge-for-policy (K4P) and it introduces key knowledge management concepts for this. S4P can be understood as a learning and sensemaking process with many knowledge creators. The report also discusses ways in which the knowledge-based view can inform the development of S4P ecosystems and scientific policy advice.
