Engage – Evidence-based dialogue on trade-offs in wicked societal problems

The goal of Engage project is to improve Science-Policy Dialogue to tackle intricate societal challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss and the energy transition.  

As cases studies, we address two critical societal issues with trade-offs and reliance on scientific insights. We focus on New Plant Breeding Technologies (NPBTs) and Energy Projects in Switzerland. Our approach includes identifying stakeholder priorities, assessing trade-offs, gathering scientific evidence on negotiation processes, and disseminating insights through various channels, using innovative tools like games.
