And what is their role at times of crisis? <br /> <br /> Science advice to policymakers has come to the fore during the Covid crisis. It is likely to remain so, given the ever-increasing complexity of the knowledge needed for dealing with 21<span class="sup">st</span>-century global policy challenges. <br /> <br /> University and academy policy engagement networks (such as UPEN in the UK, the Africa Research and Impact Network, Research Impact Canada and SAPEA in the European Union) have established themselves as a core element in the science advice ecosystem. Working across traditional organisational and disciplinary boundaries, they facilitate knowledge generation, synthesis, brokering, horizon-scanning, and much more. They do so in a way that is both nimble and responsive, while also evidence-based and non-partisan. <br /> <br /> But is the role of such networks fully understood or acknowledged? How has their role changed over time? Where is the evidence with regard to ‘what works’, especially in relation to sharing best practice or nurturing leadership? What sorts of pressures do these networks and their members find themselves under and how do they cope? How can we make our networks even stronger? <br /> <br /> Join our international panel of experts, who will discuss and debate the issues with the audience. Our webinar is free and open to all worldwide. <h4 id="section-Acad_Main_2FPast_Events_2F2011-present_2FScience+advice+at+times+of+crisis-Ourexpertpanel">Our expert panel<a class="hashlink" href="#section-Acad_Main_2FPast_Events_2F2011-present_2FScience+advice+at+times+of+crisis-Ourexpertpanel">#</a></h4> <ul><li><a class="wikipage" href="/ae/User/Petersen_Ole">Professor Ole Petersen</a>, Vice-President, Academia Europaea (Chair) </li></ul><ul><li>Dr Oludurotimi Adetunji, Associate Dean of the College for Undergraduate Research and Inclusive Science, Brown University </li></ul><ul><li>Professor Matthew Flinders, Professor of Politics and Founding Director of the Sir Bernard Crick Centre for the Public Understanding of Politics, University of Sheffield and Chair, Universities Policy Engagement Network (UPEN) </li></ul><ul><li>Dr Cornel Hart, Senior Lecturer, Community Development Programme, University of the Western Cape, and Board Member of South African Higher Education Community Engagement Forum (SAHECEF) </li></ul><ul><li>Dr David Phipps, Assistant Vice-President, Research Strategy & Impact (Office of the Vice-President Research & Innovation) at York University and Director, Research Impact Canada </li></ul><ul><li>Chris Webber, Head, Open Innovation Team, UK Government </li></ul><h4 id="section-Acad_Main_2FPast_Events_2F2011-present_2FScience+advice+at+times+of+crisis-Aboutthewebinar">About the webinar<a class="hashlink" href="#section-Acad_Main_2FPast_Events_2F2011-present_2FScience+advice+at+times+of+crisis-Aboutthewebinar">#</a></h4> <p>A joint event between <a class="external" href="https://www.upen.ac.uk" target="_blank">Universities Policy Engagement Network</a><img class="outlink" src="/images/out.png" alt="" /> (UPEN), <b>Academia Europaea</b>, Advancing Research Impact in Society (ARIS), <a class="external" href="https://researchimpact.ca" target="_blank">Research Impact Canada</a><img class="outlink" src="/images/out.png" alt="" />, <a class="external" href="http://www.sahecef.ac.za" target="_blank">South African Higher Education Community Engagement Forum</a><img class="outlink" src="/images/out.png" alt="" /> (SAHECEF), <a class="external" href="https://sapea.info" target="_blank">Science Advice for Policy by European Academies</a><img class="outlink" src="/images/out.png" alt="" /> (SAPEA). </p> <h4 id="section-Acad_Main_2FPast_Events_2F2011-present_2FScience+advice+at+times+of+crisis-Registernow"><a class="external" href="https://cardiff.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_k-KDaz2YTMeNzS3UeDvFyA" target="_blank">Register now</a><img class="outlink" src="/images/out.png" alt="" /><a class="hashlink" href="#section-Acad_Main_2FPast_Events_2F2011-present_2FScience+advice+at+times+of+crisis-Registernow">#</a></h4> <p> </p> </div> <div style="clear:both;" ></div> </div> </div> <div class="clearbox"></div> </div> <div id="eventsandnews" style="clear: both"> <script type="text/javascript" charset="UTF-8"> var baseurl ="";</script> </div> <div id='actionsBottom' class="pageactions" style=" background-color: #2759AB; "> <div id="pageactionsbottom" style="background-color: #2759AB; margin-left:10px;margin-top:10px"> <a href="/ae/Acad_Main/Imprint" style="float:left;">Imprint</a> <a href="/ae/Acad_Main/PrivacyPolicy" style="float:left;margin-left:10px">Privacy policy</a>  <a href="#top" class="action quick2top" title="Go to top">«</a> This page (revision-5) was last changed on <a href="/Diff.jsp?page=Acad_Main/Past_Events/2011-present/Science%20advice%20at%20times%20of%20crisis&r1=5&r2=4"> Tuesday, 26.
