Maatschappelijke Uitdagingen en Wetenschappelijk

Onderzoek

Er is wetenschap. Er is toepassing

Beleidskennis is informatie gestructureerd vanuit een handelingsperspectief

Relatie tussen kennis en beleid is niet lineair, maar dynamisch

Innovatie is per definitie onvoorspelbaar

‘21 (actually 22) technologies that will decentralise the world’ – where does it leave the state?

Wetenschap en beleid

Challenges

Intelligent Cities in Urbanising Delta’s

The 5 Grand Challenges are:

Forecasting—Improve the usefulness of forecasts of

future environmental conditions and their consequences for people.

Observing—Develop, enhance and integrate the

observation systems needed to manage global and regional environmental change.

Confining—Determine how to anticipate, recognize, avoid

and manage disruptive global environmental change.

Responding—Determine what institutional, economic

and behavioral changes can enable effective steps toward global sustainability.

Innovating—Encourage innovation (coupled with sound

mechanisms for evaluation) in developing technological, policy and social responses to achieve global sustainability.

Add a Policy Perspective ....

A framework for science and policy?
