Overview

As importance of scientific evidence-informed policy making has been increasing at both domestic and international levels, countries and international organizations set up or reinforce science advisory mechanisms such as science advisors, advisory groups, and etc... However, as science and policy are based on different cultures, values, and constrains, there are a lot of challenges in bridging them. In addition, science advice is now facing new challenges, such as science diplomacy and the United Nations' sustainable development goals (SDGs), that require new way of thinking and efforts beyond the existing political framework. In order to address these challenges, International Network for Government Science Advice (INGSA), under the aegis of International Council for Science (ICSU), provides a forum for policy makers, practitioners, academies, and academics to share experience, build capacity of both side of science and policy, and develop principles and practical guidelines for science advise to government at all levels and dimensions. In this seminar, Professor Sir Peter Gluckman, Chief Science Advisor to the Prime Minister of New Zealand, who led the establishment and serves as Chair of INGSA, will give talk on INGSA and details of its activities.
