[Aqualist] Invitation to 'Science meets Policymakers'

[Steven J Phipps]

AQUA members on this side of the Ditch are encouraged to attend this 
one-day event in Canberra on 11 February 2015.

Organised by Science & Technology Australia, this is a companion event to 
Science meets Parliament. The aim is to help scientists navigate the 
intersection between the worlds of science and policymaking. There is an 
impressive (and growing) array of speakers, and you can expect it to be an 
extremely eye-opening experience.

All AQUA members qualify for the STA rate of $260 + GST (or just $155 + 
GST for ECRs). There is no limit on the number of AQUA members that can 
sign up at this rate, so register now while places are still available!

Science meets Policymakers

Science & Technology Australia, in partnership with Crawford School of 
Public Policy at the Australian National University, invites registrations 
for a one-day conference to enable policymakers and scientists to achieve 
better public policy outcomes.

Science meets Policymakers will bring together researchers from a range of 
disciplines and policymakers from various government departments to 
examine the intersection between the evidence base and policy development.

Note: Registration for Science meets Policymakers (not to be confused with 
Science meets Parliament in late March 2015) is open to all and there are 
no restrictions on the number of registrations from individual 
organisations.

Participants in the event will include policymakers, parliamentarians, 
academics, practising scientists, and representatives from scientific 
societies and industries employing scientists.

Confirmed speakers include:

Dr Michael Keating AC, FASSA, FIPAA
Professor Brian Schmidt AC
Professor Hugh White AO
Professor Tom Kompas
Professor Bruce Chapman
Dr Subho Banerjee
Anne-Marie Lansdown
