SciDF@Bars - From Laboratory to Parliament: Scientific Assessor
Many political issues are related to science and technology: climate change, vaccines, ciber-security or the use of Glyphosate are some examples of how science gets onto the politic agenda.
For all those issues scientific assessor is needed:
- How does it work?
- Which different models exist?
- How is science assessor organised in different regions of the world and, specially, in Spain and Catalunya?
In this SciDF@Bars, we will discuss with experts and perform a study case to talk about it while having some beers and networking with friends.

Scientists Dating Forum (SciDF) It is an association formed by restless young people in the world of science, communication and entrepreneurship. Our goal is to offer training and motivation to scientists to become involved in the boundaries of science with politics, economics and society. We do it through round tables and workshops in Bars (SciDF @ Bars) and Scientific Institutes (SciDF Talks), but also in social events (SciDF4Fun) and collaborating with other entities (SciDF Co-Lab).
