Call for applications of experts to contribute science advice in Latin America and the Caribbean | deadline: 20 January
The Regional Focal Point for Latin America and the Caribbean of International Science Council (ISC RFP-LAC) is seeking applications of experts to contribute to a pilot project on science advice in the LAC region. The ISC RFP-LAC is engaging with ParlAmericas, the institution that promotes parliamentary diplomacy and cooperative political dialogue, facilitates the exchange of good legislative practices, and produces tailored resources to support parliamentarians in their work in the inter-American system. Composed of the 35 national legislatures in North, Central and South America, and the Caribbean, ParlAmericas provides parliamentarians with knowledge resources informed by evidence-based research on climate change and field-based, context-driven learning, while also promoting gender-responsive and open decision-making.
This pilot collaboration aims to provide parliamentarians from ParlAmericas with unbiased, evidence-based guidance on emerging scientific and technological developments, with a focus on specific areas of regional concern. Experts from the ISC community will contribute through virtual sessions to the presentation and discussion of scientific evidence that serves to expand the understanding of the topics that are of interest to the parliamentarians, and at the same time allows the development of scientific advisory skills in the scientific community of the LAC region.
