L’expertise scientifique et l’éclairage des politiques publiques en France

cover
Document de discussion final
Science is an essential resource for decision-making. The structure of the interface between science and policy and the associated working processes determine if and how scientific knowledge reach decision-makers. This report provides an overview of the structures that operate at the interface between science and policy in France, for two thematic areas: environment and agriculture-food. It proposes a typology of science-for-policy organisations, established on the basis of their legal status and including eleven classes. This first descriptive analysis underline several relevant questions, to further reflect on the ecosystem of science for policy in France. These questions relate to: the autonomy of scientific expert knowledge vis-à-vis political power, and therefore of its ability to alert the latter in the event of a problem; the communication between the various structures responsible for the same field of action for effective coordination; the relationships between the different forms of production and mobilization of decision-relevant knowledge; the strategy for restructuring the ecosystem; and more globally to the role of scientific knowledge in decision-making.
