Scientific research has generated technology through the traditions of peer-review and evidence-based policymaking. Now, research must reach communities and citizen assemblies -- and vice versa. @kl4sp.bsky.social @rotevatn.venstre.no @roedt.no @innovasjonnorge.bsky.social
Research Reaching Everyone; Access and Relevance

Making research truly open means more than publishing findings. It’s about ensuring communities can find, understand, and use research to shape better policies and decisions.

Next time in Kharkiv.

TRUMP: Thank you very much, Vladimir

PUTIN: Next time in Moscow

TRUMP: Oooh. That's an interesting one. I'll get a little heat on that one, but I could see it possibly happening
