How does the interaction between science and politics work?
Samenweten organizes in collaboration with Parlement en Wetenschap an online workshop for PhD’s/postdocs about the interaction between research and politics.
Participants will discuss with a panel of scientists who have a lot of experience with politics and people who work in or near the House of Representatives. How does the House of Representatives work? What are the do’s and don’ts for scientists dealing with the House?
During the workshop we will also do various excercises to address the questions:
- How far does my expertise as a researcher reach?
- Where does science end and start politics?
- To which current topics could I contribute scientific knowledge?
The next workshop is planned March 11, 2022. Participation is free of charge. Scientists who are part of the Rewarded-program get priority in the admission.
