Securing public support for public policy

Together they will consider how, in the face of growing suspicion of scientific evidence, researchers can play a role in formulating evidence-based global public policies that also enjoy legitimacy and broad-based public support.

The discussion will also take in the challenge of communicating research to policy-makers and the wider public in an age of 鈥榝ake news鈥� and 鈥榓lternative facts鈥�, along with how academic debates can better reflect the voices of those on the receiving end of global public policies.
