Скачать или смотреть In Conversation Webinar on "Providing Science Advice to Governments: Lessons from a Pandemic"

COVID – 19 has revealed the tensions between scientists and decision-makers in governments and at different stages of the epidemic, we have observed considerable degrees of uncertainty within the scientific community. Despite these inherent uncertainties of a novel pandemic, we have witnessed in the past 18 months the integration of science and policy. We have observed policy-makers enlisting and heeding the advice of scientists across a range of disciplines, including epidemiology, virology, economics, public health, and the humanities, and seen elsewhere the ineffective use of science to inform policy. This ‘In Conversation’ Webinar organized by the Pathfinder Foundation will address some of these areas of concern as well as discussing the historical development of scientific advocacy in the UK, the institutions and processes used by successive governments to obtain advice from science advisors in the UK and its parallel course of action in Sri Lanka. The discussion will also explore how scientists cope when there is lack of objective evidence, controversies arise or when issues are politically sensitive. It is also expected that the conversation will focus on novel concepts such as post-normal science, co-production of knowledge and tapping into collective intelligence.
