Parliamentary Science Advice
An interactive map of mechanisms that parliaments across the world use to access and harness research evidence has been launched.
Mechanisms that parliaments across the world use to access and harness research evidence were identified as part of research undertaken by Dr Vicky Ward (University of St Andrews) and Dr Mark Monaghan (Loughborough University) at the request of the UK’s Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology. The interactive map highlights the breadth of activity being carried out across the world, much of which has been previously overlooked. It is intended as a resource for building global connections and learning opportunities between those involved in helping parliaments access research evidence.
