From Nansen legacy science to useful knowledge
Importkompaniet, Clarion Hotel the Edge, Tromsø – January 27, 16:15-17.45
How can knowledge from a science project reach users and policy makers? And how can we increase the competence among scientists in order to provide the science results in a useful format for users and policy makers? This side event focuses on science results, knowledge needs and dialog on topics related to weather, ecosystems, ecotoxicology, the ice edge and future conditions in the Barents Sea.
Through short presentations from scientists and user groups, we aim for a dialog on important and relevant issues regarding the Barents Sea and the Arctic marine environment. The goal is to turn science results into powerful knowledge and build a more informed and closer interaction between scientists and policy makers.

Science advice for policy: who asks, who gives, and who listens?
Importkompaniet, Clarion Hotel the Edge, Tromsø – January 27, 18.15-19.15
Science advice supports effective policymaking by providing the best available knowledge, which can then be used to understand a specific problem, generate and evaluate policy options and monitor results of policy implementation. It also provides meaning to the discussion around critical topics within society. Successful mechanisms for science advice need to be independent and trustworthy.
The advice works best when it is guided by the ideal of co-creation of knowledge and policy options between scientists and policymakers.
