Panel Organized by: Office of the Chief Scientist, Natural Resources Canada with the Institute of Environment, University of Ottawa / Bureau du scientifique principal, Ressources naturelles Canada avec l'Institut de l'environnement, l'Université d'Ottawa

There is growing recognition that social science research has an important role to play in decision-making. However, bringing the social sciences into science-policy domains raises questions about interdisciplinarity, expertise, and the weights and types of evidence that inform decision-making.

The panel brings together perspectives from government agencies and academia to discuss case studies on bringing the social sciences into new policy spaces. Participants are invited to engage in dialogue to share tools and practices that have worked in their respective organizations, and to create greater networking opportunities for peer-to-peer learning.
