The project is dedicated to enhancing the knowledge and competencies of researchers, research managers, and students for policy engagement, thereby supporting effective knowledge transfer for evidence-informed policymaking in the areas of environment, climate change, and digital transformation.
The project will pilot innovative science-policy dialogue initiatives and joint activities that bring researchers and policy-making professionals together. The resulting best practices will generate a Policy Engagement Toolkit featuring how-to guides and other instruments for policy engagement. Ultimately, knowledge generated by ENGAGEgreen on effective engagement with policymaking professionals and institutions will feed into a series of trainings delivered to students, researchers, and research managers.
Our role in the project:
BETA Technological Center will launch two new editions of the SIMIL Programme by conducting two consecutive pairings schemes between scientists and policymakers. These editions of SIMIL will be based on territorial challenges raised by the Catalan local and regional policy institutions in the areas of environment, climate change, and digital transformation, identified in a co-creation process.
