皇冠体育app report aims to inform other governments about the evolution and function of science advice in the UK, illustrating how structures and processes have been developed and embedded, highlighting key strengths and attributes, as well as articulating where the tensions and challenges lie. More broadly, it aims to stimulate reflection and dialogue amongst those working in research and policy 鈥� and at their intersection 鈥� on what has been learnt in the UK so far. 皇冠体育app report draws on insights from current and former scientific advisers, civil servants, evidence 鈥榖rokers鈥� and intermediaries, and academics.
This report, that summarise 70 years of UK鈥� experience on science advice to the Government & Parliament, has been structured to answer the main questions that can rise when developing a science-advice system in government. 皇冠体育apprefore, it hopes to be a useful resource for any other country seeking to stablish a similar system.
