Description
Evidence-informed policy is an approach in public policy that is based on the belief that policy choices should be grounded in academic evidence. The importance of social research and the different methods that are applied therein lie at the heart of evidence informed policymaking. The aim of this keynote talk is to critically explore the historical and contemporary landscape of the evidence-informed policy approach. Furthermore, the discussion will reiterate the interlocking relationship between public policy and social research. The speaker will present case study examples from their own research in a policy context and suggest areas for future development.
