One of the easiest ways that scientists can start engaging with policymaking is through the established, institutionalised mechanisms hosted by the European Commission that aim to collect expert input and feedback on their legislative proposals. This Short Course will provide participants with all the information that they need to start engaging with these formal engagement processes. The convening team and invited experts will provide an overview of a range of Commission-driven mechanisms including the EU Transparency Register, EU Consultations, and EU Expert Groups.

Make sure you bring your laptop so that you can join the walkthrough of the European Commission website and access these mechanisms.

Speakers:

  • Kelsey Beltz: Global partnerships and education, The Good Lobby
  • Alessandro Allegra: Policy Assistant to the Deputy Director-General for Research & Innovation, EU Commission
  • Emmanuel Salmon: Head of Strategy & International Cooperation at ICOS
