Pathways to Convert Research into Public Policy: A Roundtable

The Program on Data Science for Public Policy (DSPPP) of the UP Center for Integrative and Development Studies (UP CIDS) is organizing a roundtable discussion, “Pathways to Convert Research into Public Policy,” on 16 October 2024, 9:00 – 11:00 am, Philippine Standard Time, via Zoom and UP CIDS, Lower Ground Floor, Ang Bahay ng Alumni, UP Diliman, QC. The roundtable is free and open to the public, but seats are first-come, first-served.

CONCEPT NOTE

This roundtable aims to make a dive deep into the conundrum of the research-policymaking relationship. It will provide a platform for legislative officers/policy analysts of major policymaking bodies in the Philippines to answer the following questions:

    • How important is academic research in public policymaking? How could academics contribute to/provide inputs to policymaking?
    • What are the pathways (i.e., systems and procedures in your agency) for academics to convert their research into policy proposals in your agency? How should the papers be written? What are the requisite skills for effective policy advocacy?
    • What is your agency’s current legislative agenda that academics could be involved in or assist with?
    • What would you recommend to institutionalize academic-public policymaking cooperation between your agency and UP?
