In conversation: Sir Peter Gluckman, Chair, International Network for Government Science Advice speaks to Prof. Jean Claude Burgelman, Free University of Brussels about scientific advice and policymaking in the context of the COVID-19 response. During their conversation, you can hear about: 

  • The role scientific advice has played during the COVID-19 pandemic so far and why it is not always followed. 

  • The relationship between scientific advice in theory and policymaking in practice. Were policymakers ready to take early and unpopular decisions? How was the advice communicated?
