IIASA, in collaboration with the European and African Union Commissions, is organizing an evidence and policy event. This event is aimed at policy officers and research scientists in the Water-Energy-Food nexus. Applications for participation are now open till 29 April 2016.

To develop the necessary skills for improving practices in better integrating evidence into policy-making, IIASA and the European and African Union Commissions have teamed up to organize this international 3-day evidence and policy event, aimed at policy officers and scientists. Participants will develop their working practices, behaviors and methods, in both the scientific and policy-making domains via masterclasses and group work.

This year, the organizers invite applications from policy officers and scientists developing policy and conducting research in the field of the Water-Energy-Food nexus. The event aims to meet the following 3 goals:

  • Enhance participants’ skills in integrating evidence into policy-making.
  • Create a community of practice that will continue to collaborate afterwards.
  • Stimulate the participants to share their new skills and learning with their colleagues.

Eligibility criteria and information on the application process and the draft programme of the event, can be found here.
