Research themes

Science and Technology Policy

We analyze decisions at the science-policy interface, including making public and private investments in science and technology, governing the usability of scientific information, and critically engaging the scientific and technical construction of emerging issues.

Science and Technology Policy Projects

Projects under this theme include studies of research processes intended to co-produce science between science and stakeholders, improving early warning systems for drought management, and illuminating how lay publics make sense of geoengineering.
