DESCRIPTION:Speakers\nScientific discoveries undoubtedly play an essential
  role in shaping the future of society\, but there is still a significant 
 gap between science and policymaking. The COVID-19 pandemic and the recent
  energy crisis due to the war in Ukraine have shown the importance of effi
 cient collaboration between scientists and politicians. This summer schoo
 l aims to illustrate how natural sciences and engineering impact society\,
  influence public policymakers and how to bridge the gap between them.\n\n
 Through a five-day program\, participants will learn:\n\n	Why is Open Sci
 ence (OS) a prerequisite for scientists approaching policymakers and the 
 general public?\n	How do scientists whose research tackles topics of publ
 ic interest consider policymaking\, identify the challenges\, and how do 
 they overcome them?\n	How do different stakeholders\, such as scientific
  advisors\, journalists and policymakers working for (non)-governmental as
 sociations\, experience science impacting public decisions?\n	Which form
 ats to communicate science to non-scientific audiences are available\, an
 d how can everyone effectively communicate scientific findings to relevant
  parties?\n	How do public engagement and regulatory frameworks empower
  scientific findings?\n\nThe summer school is open to all PhD students and
  is worth 2 ECTS. Spots are limited and registration will close on May 1st
 : apply now!
