DESCRIPTION:A "lecture":http://www.csap.cam.ac.uk/events/policy-makers-aca
 demic-institutions/ by Dr David Cleevely\, CSaP Founding Director (2008-20
 15)\n\nMonday 11 June 2018\, Queens' College\, Cambridge\n\n\nChaired by P
 rofessor Dame Ottoline Leyser\, Director of the Sainsbury Laboratory\, and
  Chair of CSaP’s Management Committee.\n\nThe UK has scientific advisers
  at the top of government\, but with science\, engineering and technology 
 playing greater and greater roles in our lives there is a correspondingly 
 greater need for a broader understanding of these issues by policy makers.
 \n\nOne source of advice might be academic institutions\, but there is a m
 ixed history of working together partly because policy makers need solutio
 ns and decisions whilst academic institutions are concerned with understan
 ding the complexity of topics – and both operate with different timescal
 es and required levels of proof.\n\nDavid Cleevely will argue that a bette
 r approach is to use peer to peer networking between members of the two gr
 oups\, where each expose their own unique insights. He will draw parallels
  with systems of open innovation and open policy making\, and set out why 
 democracies need to draw more effectively on insights from science and eng
 ineering and how this could best be achieved.\n\nThe lecture will be chair
 ed by Professor Ottoline Leyser\, Director of the Sainsbury Laboratory\, a
 nd Chair of CSaP’s Management Committee.\n\n\n\nPlease register to atten
