How does the interaction between science and politics work?
On Friday 11 March, we jointly organised the workshop From University to Hous of Representatives with Parliament and Science. We discussed what you can do as a researcher to inform politics with scientific information. Participants learned from, among others, panellists Heleen de Coninck (TUE & RU), Thea Hilhorst (EUR) and Eppo Bruins (former Member of Parliament ChristenUnie, chair of the Advisory Council for Science, Technology and Innovation).
On this page you will find materials and resources that were discussed during the workshops and was shared afterwards with all participants.
