An evaluation framework for institutional capacity of science-for-policy ecosystems in EU Member States

To inform and structure the debates about capacity building in support of robust, interconnected science for policy ecosystems, one strand of this work focuses on developing, together with an interdisciplinary group of experts and practitioners, a self-assessment framework for the institutional capacity of such ecosystems. Through a combination of commissioned studies, participatory events, and pilot studies, the JRC aims to provide a playbook that supports policymakers and other stakeholders at the science-policy interface in designing an evaluation process for the institutional ecosystem that connects scientific research with policymaking processes.
