Scientists could play a vital role in ensuring equitable and science-based policy solutions to the most pressing challenges facing us today, but often they are not trained or empowered to transform their concerns into actions.
In this series of skills-building training webinars, the Union of Concerned Scientists will provide practical steps that scientists and experts can take to get involved in policy advocacy.
These virtual trainings will showcase a range of ways that experts can promote evidence-based methods and findings to influence policymaking, regulation, and other societal decisionmaking practices to serve the public good. Throughout the series, Science Network members will be provided opportunities to determine what their role as a scientist advocate looks like. Training attendees will also be connected with opportunities to take action on UCS campaigns, to put their skills into action.
You are invited to sign up for as many free, virtual training webinars as you’re interested in. If you cannot attend the live training, a recording will be provided afterward.
