Learning activities

Science-policy interactions are first and foremost dynamic social processes that rely to a great extent on the skills, networks and experiential knowledge of individuals and organisations.

Learning at the boundary is a series of learning opportunities for early to mid-term career scientists, policy professionals and intermediaries willing to contribute more effectively to science-informed policymaking in practice.

Our learning opportunities aim to:

• Explore how science-policy interfaces work in practice in global governance networks
• Learn about strategies, practices, and skills required to span the boundary between science and policy in different professional context(s)
• Offer practical advice and experience from actors working at the science-policy interface
• Provide networking opportunities with experts and practitioners from the international Geneva ecosystem

Each programme is tailored to the specific needs of our audience.

Over time, we aim to build a network of skilled and self-aware boundary spanners that can contribute cutting-edge knowledge, skills, best practices, networking and information-sharing opportunities on effective science-policy impact pathways across the main thematic areas of the Geneva ecosystem.
