Lesson 6: Policy drivers, research agendas, European research policy

Read description and download

  • The student can identify major policy drivers (e.g. UN developmental goals, cross-cutting issues) and assess their influence in shaping research agendas.
  • The student can identify examples of societal and economic drivers impacting and defining research policy (e.g. the COVID 19 situation).
  • The student can differentiate between policy and strategy and identify suitable examples in the context of research institutions and processes.
  • The student can discuss and formulate arguments and confront opinions in the context of real cases of scientific policies.
  • The student demonstrates curiosity and interest for systemic approaches and for the organization of the research ecosystem.
  • The student is able to accept others’ views, and work together to provide the necessary support for the proposal’s preparation.
  • The student is critical regarding his own work and that of others taking on a constructive attitude.
  • The student takes responsibility for its own work.
