POLICY BRIEF CONCISE

On the 18th of November 2020, from 11.00 to 13.30 CET, the EU-funded project CONCISE Communication role on perception and beliefs of EU Citizens about Science will host an online EU Policy Dialogue on Science Communication.

Building on recent European Commission attention to science communication within the H2020 “Science with and for Society” Work Programme, this EU Policy Dialogue on Science Communication aims to present evidence-based practical policy recommendations that promote quality science communication.

This session will include the participation of MEPs Estrella Durá and Lina Galvez, as well as representatives of three EU-funded projects CONCISE, QUEST and RETHINK.

We aim to involve regional, national and European policy makers in this discussion in order to foster public policies directed at improving citizens’ trust in scientific advice and the implementation of science informed choices.
