Through community building, knowledge exchange, and capacity development, S4PXchange aims to:
- Establish and strengthen the European Science-for-Policy ecosystem.
- Support the Network of Science-for-Policy Correspondents and connect key actors across Europe.
- Create a shared understanding of Science-for-Policy.
- Develop common approaches, concepts, and methodologies for evidence-informed policymaking.
- Increase capacity and connectedness.
- Provide opportunities for mutual learning, training, peer exchange, and collaboration among Science-for-Policy stakeholders.
- Contribute to the institutionalisation and long-term sustainability of the European S4P ecosystem.
CWTS will perform a large-scale quantitative analysis of policy documents and citations to scientific literature, to map S4P relevant organisations across Europe. The quantitative mapping will be built on the Overton policy database connected to the OpenAlex publication database, supplemented with more qualitative approaches to overcome coverage limitations.
