Announcing the ZeroPM Science-Policy webinar: Navigating the science to policy interface – what can we learn from 25 years of work on PFAS
The free webinar will be on the 22nd of January, 15:00 – 16:00 CET.
Please find the invitation below and use this link to register.
The science-policy interface is the space where scientific findings and assessments are translated into policy-relevant recommendations. This webinar will discuss how science is translated into policy, taking per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) as a case study example. The European Environment Agency (EEA) will highlight the interactions between researchers/European Union funded research projects, agencies and the European Commission that shape policy.
The webinar will show how scientists can best contribute to this discussion and ensure their research results have full policy impact. PFAS will be used to show how science is translated to policy and an overview of the EEA’s work in this area will be given. Furthermore, the webinar will show how the EEA communicates with scientists, Member States, other EU agencies and ultimately the European Commission to advance the Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability towards a toxic free environment.
