As part of this year's STS Conference at TU Graz, which deals with critical issues in science, the Institute POLICIES<\/a>\u00a0, together with the Austrian Institute of Technology (AIT), the Institute for Advanced Studies (IHS) and the Austrian Institute of Economic Research (WIFO), organised a session on the relationship between politics and science.<\/p>\n

The scientific contributions addressed this question using topics such as Covid, glyphosate, climate change and nanotechnology. In a panel discussion moderated by\u00a0Wolfgang Polt<\/a>, dircetor of the POLICIES Institute and\u00a0Helmut H\u00f6nigmayer<\/strong>\u00a0from IHS\u00a0, Daniela Fuchs<\/strong>\u00a0(ZSI \u2013 Center for Social Innovation),\u00a0J\u00fcrgen Janger<\/strong>\u00a0(WIFO)\u00a0Judith Kohlenberger<\/strong>\u00a0(WU Vienna) and\u00a0Matthias Weber<\/strong>\u00a0(AIT) debated, among other things, about current areas of friction between science and politics, about relevant initiatives to improve the willingness to engage in dialogue and about the requirements for evidence-based politics in Austria.<\/p>\n

Politics is called upon<\/h2>\n

\"The participants agreed that the reorganisation of this relationship must not only be pursued by the scientific community - for example in the form of standards and guidelines for scientific integrity - but must also be seriously tackled by politicians,\" said Polt. On the part of the scientific community, the topic has already been reflected in various statements: For example, in the report written by AIT, IHS, WIFO, JR POLICIES and WIIW (Vienna Institute for International Economic Studies)\u00a0Memorandum on contract research in political consulting<\/a>\u00a0or in the\u00a0\"Vienna Memorandum\" of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (\u00d6AW)<\/a>.<\/p>\n
