EIPPEE was invited to be a keynote speaker at the international symposium “Advancing socio-economic research” organised by the Pro-Global Science Association. This symposium took place on 18-19 May 2012 in Bucharest Romania. Taking the findings of the first EIPEE project as its starting point (see www.eipee.eu), the speech outlined the ways that policy-makers are being enabled to use research more effectively by approaches that focus on their needs and the particular organisational and political factors that shape their uptake of research. The speech set out the different types of activities that were being used as well as the particular mechanisms being employed to encourage research use. It also highlighted the actors responsible for setting up and managing these activities. PowerPoint slides of this speech are available here
