Training workshop on collaborative tools to support the interaction between science and policy in the field of water management
Budapest, 2011 Oct. 12th
Knowledge brokering strategies and instruments offer opportunities to facilitate interaction between policy-makers and researchers so as to relate science, experience and insight to policy. A training workshop will take place on the 12th of October 2011 in Budapest and aims at introducing participants to knowledge brokering instruments such as group model building and scenario planning in the context of water management and climate change. Practitioners with significant know-how in the field have designed a programme around interactive and practical sessions and facilitated discussions. Participants will learn new methods to strengthen the relationship between science and policy and explore how to apply these at their own work. The workshop is being delivered through the EU funded PSI-connect project which works to develop, test and disseminate knowledge brokering practices in the field of water management and climate change. The workshop will be followed by the Climate Water Final Symposium and both events are free of charge.
