Overview

The challenges of achieving digital and environmentally sustainable transitions are complex, with governments required to deliver effective STI policies. These transitions cut across traditional policy and institutional boundaries, which place an emphasis on more integrated, coherent cross-governmental policies that can generate new transition trajectories. Moreover, the societal impacts of these transitions demand wider participation and would benefit from including civil society voices. This demands increased collaboration within policy communities and the wider ecosystem for perspectives and collective buy-in, as well as STI policies that are orientated towards the future to identify emerging issues and opportunities. This TIP workshop explored how collaborative efforts can be used to deliver effective policies for future transitions. 

WORKSHOP Agenda

• Presentation: Workshop Introduction

Session 1: Integrated STI policies for transitions (12h45-13h50)

Keynote address on “Whole-of-government approaches in STI policymaking” provided by Professor Motoko Kotani, the Executive Vice President for Research, Tohoku University, Japan and President-elect of the International Science Council who will exchange on the Japanese experience of designing collaborative governance approaches in view of cross-governmental responsibilities for the environmental sustainability and digital transitions.

Session 2. Fostering civil-society participation (14h25-15h30)
