The Future of Scientific Advice in Europe
Thursday 8th November, 5:30pm
The Haldane Room, Wilkins Building, UCL
The role of scientific advice in informing policy solutions to major global challenges is increasingly well recognised. In recent years, European science advisory structures have been strengthened, and UK academics and scientific organisations have a considerable role in these.
This event will explore the experiences of past and current science advisors and the opportunities for the UK-based scientific community to contribute to evidence systems at an international level.
Our speakers:
Professor Nicole Grobert, University of Oxford, Member of the European Commission's Group of Chief Scientific Advisors.
Professor Chris Whitty, London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, Chief Scientific Adviser for the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC).
Dr Grant Hill-Cawthorne, Head of the Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology, UK Parliament.
Dr Mangala Srinivas, Radboud University Medical Center (Netherlands), Vice-Chair of the Young Academy of Europe.
The evening will be chaired by Professor Graeme Reid, Chair of Science and Research Policy at UCL.
