EU-AU-IIASA Evidence and Policy Event: Water-Energy-Food nexus - Ispra, 30 agosto-2 settembre 2016

In a complex world, evidence-based policymaking can enhance the effectiveness of public policies. To develop the necessary skills for improving practices in better integrating evidence into policy-making, the European and African Union Commissions together with the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) are organising a highly participatory evidence and policy event. Participants will develop their working practices, skills, behaviours and methods, in both the scientific and policy-making domains via masterclasses and group work.

The event aims to meet the following main goals:

• Enhance participants' skills in integrating evidence into policy-making
• Create a community of practice that will continue to collaborate afterwards
• Stimulate the participants to share their new skills and learning with their colleagues

Applications from policy officers and scientists developing policy and conducting research in the field of the Water-Energy-Food nexus are welcomed. European participants (both scientists and policy-makers) can apply until 6th June 2016.
