A number of conditions must be met in order for utilization-​focused policy advice to become a reality on a wider scale. Researchers from various institutes, including ISTP Member Prof. David Kaufmann, propose a six-​point checklist for developing effective policy advice. They argue that in addition to invest in science communication for the general public and politicians, a specific form of policy advice, that is, policy-​prescriptive evidence-​based information, should become available.

The panel “Urban planning and policy-making with/without/against national states” is organized by David Kaufmann. The deadline for abstracts is the 30th of June 2020.
