SUMMARY:Communicating science for policy making
DESCRIPTION:About the workshop\nThe Himalayan University Consortium (HUC) is organizing a one-day workshop that will focus on repackaging scientific work into succinct\, accessible\, and understandable two-page policy briefs. The workshop will help participants – senior researchers and scholars in the natural and social sciences – understand policy formulation processes and effective means of reaching policy makers. Invited speakers – environmental journalists and policy makers – will share their experiences interacting with scientists and incorporating scientific findings in their work. Participants will learn how to synthesize research findings and recommendations to achieve desired outcomes at the policy level. \nVIEW FLYER \nBackground\nPolicy making is a complex\, interactive\, and iterative process influenced by diverse factors and interests. The impact of evidence generated by scientists – crucial to policy making – can remain limited if the evidence is not packaged well or effectively communicated to policy makers. Good science feeds impactful policies\, but given the vastly different mechanisms\, languages\, and mandates in the science and policy-making spheres\, it is important to bridge the divide with targeted\, effective communication. Scientific literature needs to be synthesized into accessible\, focused communication materials and delivered using new platforms and media so that policy makers can easily use to navigate through pressing issues. \nAgenda\nDay 1 – Tuesday\, 21 December 2021 \n\n\n\nTime (NPT)\nProgramme\n\n\n\n\n14:00\nCheck-in at Himalaya Drishya Resort\, Dhulikhel – Achala Sharma\, ICIMOD\n\n\n17:00\nRegistration\n\n\n18:00-20:00\nOrientation – Achala Sharma\, ICIMOD\n                            Reception dinner\n\n\n20:00-21:00\nIntroduction of participants and speakers – Chi H Truong (Shachi)\, ICIMOD\n                            Keynote presentation on challenges and prospects of communicating scientific knowledge to policy makers – Alok K Bohara\, University of New Mexico\n\n\n\nDay 2 – Wednesday\, 22 December 2021 \n\n\n\nTime (NPT)\nProgramme\n\n\n\n\n09:00-09:30\nTransfer from hotel to Kathmandu University Dhulikhel campus\n\n\n09:30–09:40\nOpening remarks – Chi H Truong (Shachi)\, ICIMOD\n                            bjectives of the workshop – Chandra Lal Pandey\, Kathmandu University\n\n\n09:40–10:00\nScience\, policy\, and practice: Experiences in urban planning – Kriti Kusum Joshi\, City Planning Commission\, Kathmandu Metropolitan City\n\n\n10:00–10:20\nMedia\, scientific knowledge\, and policy making: Reflections from Himalaya region – Ramesh Bhushal\, The Third Pole\n\n\n10:20–10:50\nGroup discussion\n\n\n10:50–11:00\nGroup photo and coffee break\n\n\n11:00–12:30\nsession 1\n                            How to repackage scientific writing into a two-page policy brief – Chandra Lal Pandey\, Kathmandu University\, and Rachana Chettri\, ICIMOD \n\n\n12:30–13:30\nLunch break\n\n\n13:30–14:30\nsession 2\n                            Presenting your research findings and bringing scientific knowledge into politics and policy making – Chandra Lal Pandey\, Kathmandu University\, and Ramesh Bhushal\, The Third Pole\n\n\n\nPractical session 3\n                            Writing desk and pairwise review – Chandra Lal Pandey\, Kathmandu University\, and Rachana Chettri\, ICIMOD\n                            Stakeholder Mapping – Simon Russell\, Policy Associate\, PolicyBristol\, The University of Brisotl\n                            Participants’ evaluation of the workshop\n                            Closing remarks: Reflections on bridging science–policy–practice – Mani Nepal\, ICIMOD
