In order for research to contribute to a more sustainable development, it is critical that research results reach out to a wide audience. The aim of this course is to enhance the PhD students understanding of the research-policy linkages and to increase the capabilities of the PhD-students to communicate their research findings to different stakeholders.
The course combines theory about factors facilitating or hindering the uptake of research findings in policy making processes with practical exercises. The methodology is a mix of presentations, literature seminars and assignments. Guest lectures with senior researchers, high level policy experts and journalists with vast experiences from research-policy interaction play an important part in the course.The course has been developed by researchers and policy experts at the Centre for Environment and Sustainability(GMV) in Gothenburg.The course will take place in Gothenburg on the following dates.Session 1: February 19-21, 2013Session 2: April 16-18, 2013.Applications should be submitted online at "Application - From Research to Policy for Sustainable Development" before January 1st, 2013.https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dHFmM0dXVHFTTTFMNU… further information, see From Research to Policy for Sustainable Development .http://www.chalmers.se/gmv/SV/utbildning/doktorandkurser/in-order-for-r… contact Daniel Slunge: daniel.slunge@gu.se, phone: 031-7869205.
