The European Scientific Advice Mechanism: How evidence-informed policymaking works in a Union of 27 states


The Scientific Advice Mechanism (SAM) provides independent scientific evidence and policy recommendations to the College of European Commissioners, on a range of policy-related issues.

But how does the European policymaking process work? How is it informed by scientific evidence? How can institutions, researchers and professional staff (including from Associated Countries, like the UK) engage with the SAM?

Join this interactive webinar, which is free and open to all. It is hosted by the Universities Policy Engagement Network (UPEN), in partnership with the Future Leaders Fellows Development Network, and in collaboration with Academia Europaea Cardiff (a partner in the SAM).

This webinar is one of a series on the theme of international policy engagement, organised by UPEN’s International Sub-Committee.

You are welcome to submit questions to our panel, either in advance AECardiffHub@cardiff.ac.uk or at the webinar.
