Auditorium del Palazzo della Gran Guardia, Verona–23 JUNE 2014

The European Commission recommends:

“Especially in the area of environment, it is important for researchers to communicate scientific findings in an appropriate and accessible way to policy-makers in order for them to make the right choices in drawing up policies aiming at sustainable solutions to environmental problems. An improved dialogue between the scientific and policy-making communities is necessary to improve linkages between policy needs and research programmes as well as to enhance the accessibility of scientific knowledge to policy makers”.

The opening session of ecoSTP2014 aims at strenghtening the science-policy interface, so as to best address the dialogue wthin the conference and the future perspectives and collaboration.
