POLICY SCIENCE INTERACTIONS

Connecting Policy and Science through Innovative Knowledge Brokering
in the field of Water Management and Climate Change

Case studies

At the centre of PSI-connect is the further development and testing of Knowledge Brokering Instruments in 'real life policy situations'. Knowledge Brokering Instruments are methods or tools which aim to increase the quality of science-policy interactions. PSI-connect will bring together scientists, policy makers and stakeholders to experiment with different types of knowledge brokering instruments in real life policy situations at three levels of governance, namely the EU, national and regional level.

In each case study, PSI-connect have:

  • worked closely with policy makers and stakeholders to articulate the knowledge needs in the specific policy trajectory

  • tailored the candidate knowledge brokering instruments to and tested them in the individual policy situations in the case study sites

  • evaluated their functioning and performance in order to determine their effectiveness for supporting policy-science interactions as well as to identify conditions for their successful application.
