The future of
science-policy connections
19-20 April 2012
Venice Palazzo Zorzi, Italy
Event hosted by UNESCO
PSI-connect invites you to participate in
'The future of science-policy connections' event hosted by UNESCO. The
training workshop (19/04/12) and the final conference (20/04/12) will
provide you with insights into improving the quality and value of
interactions between scientists, river basin managers and policy makers.
Interactive sessions, reflections and experiences with knowledge
brokering instruments will bring together an audience looking for new
ways to strengthen the relationships between policy and science in the
field of water management and climate change.

Marseille, France
http://www.stream-project.eu/policy-seminars/innovative-technologies
STREAM Project is organising its 2nd
Policy Seminar 'Achieving solutions for water scarcity and drought -
using policies to promote concrete implementation of innovative
water technologies' on Tuesday 13th of March from 12.00 to 15.00, as
a side event of the 6th World Water Forum in Marseille-France in
room PP2 at the Palais Phoceen.
This seminar will be
moderated by Adriaan Slob (PSI-connect project
coordinator) and will address the question how to
use policy frameworks to promote the implementation
of innovative technologies to reduce water
consumption and thereby address water scarcity and
droughts.

6th World Water
Forum: Science and Water Policy Interface: When Science and
Innovation Meet Water Policy
14 March 2012
Marseille, France
http://worldwaterforum6.SPIsession.oieau.fr/
The session will be organised in
interactive roundtable discussions aiming at formulating an action
plan that strengthens the scientific knowledge base for public water
policy, establishes and improves effective science-policy
interfacing and is reported on at the 7th World Water Forum. It will
allow knowledge and experience-sharing in the science-policy
interface thanks to more than 18 solutions presented. You will have
the opportunity to make recommendations to address the challenges
and the action plan implementation.
The afternoon session 'some solutions
for an efficient SPI - elaboration of the action plan' will
count with the participation of Adriaan Slob (PSI-connect project
coordinator) leading the round table on 'tools to bridge
science-policy gaps'.
Sava River basin management - second training
workshop
30 November - 2 December 2011
Four Points Hotel Zagreb, Croatia
The workshop 'shown me possible ways to
solve complex problems in a real world'. 'Team work sharing
different opinions helped me to understand my own knowledge of the
current problems'. 'As a scientist I better understand the
problems policy makers struggle with everyday and how to better
cooperate'. 'The training helped me to learn new methods that I can
use in my work'.
Cross-level workshop
17 November
2011
Club Fondation Universitaire Brussels,
Belgium
The objective of the cross-level
workshop is to discuss the key messages of the PSI-connect project.
The PSI-connect consortium together with the case study partners and
members of the advisory group will validate the proposed conclusions
and further explore information gaps. The outcomes of this event
will provide valuable input to revised and adapted conclusions and
recommendations.

First training workshop on
collaborative tools to support science-policy interaction
12 October 2011
Budapest, Hungary at VITUKI
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 (Hungary) 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. The
PSI-connect team welcomes you to participate!
