Generating, assessing and applying science and innovation in ways beneficial to humanity has never been more challenging for decision-makers in public, private and civil society sectors. Specific disciplines and current governance structures are limited in their capacity to fully address and resolve large-scale or so-called “wicked” problems on their own. This panel, presented by the new Centre for the Study of Science and Innovation Policy (CSIP), will showcase research projects that illuminate the importance of effective collaborative models across disciplines and beyond the academy. Through examination of the policy and governance dimensions of science and innovation, this forum will explore comprehensive evidence-based approaches and opportunities for researchers and their partners to better understand and address complex problems facing society.
The symposium will feature presentations from:
- Murray Fulton, Professor, Johnson Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy; Director, Centre for the Study of Co-operatives
- John Pomeroy, Canada Research Chair in Water Resources and Climate Change; Director, Centre for Hydrology; Associate Director, Global Water Futures Programme
- Peggy Schmeiser, Associate Director, Centre for the Study of Science and Innovation Policy; Assistant Professor, Johnson Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy
- Peter Phillips, Director, Centre for the Study of Science and Innovation Policy; Distinguished Professor, Johnson Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy
- Janet Halliwell, Chair of the Board, Canadian Science Policy Council; Vice Chair of the Board, Canadian Science Publishing
