The Frontiers Policy Labs initiative seeks to strengthen the connection between robust scientific research and informed policymaking. The challenges we face today are as stark as they are complex; the COVID-19 pandemic and the climate emergency are just two among many that we must now address. Now is the time to look to science as a tool to enable better, more holistic decision making; an interface through which policy is driven by evidence. To enable that, science must be open, science must be trusted, and science must be accessible. 

Insights will be added regularly, and we encourage you to listen, learn, and perhaps most importantly, join the debate.  

 “Traditional labs facilitate a controlled environment for research and experimentation, for trial and error, measurement, observation, and practice. That is what we aim to achieve through this facility. Policy Labs is an environment where global experts and thought leaders can discuss and strengthen the dialogue between science and policy. It will enable a conversation that will ultimately help bring about healthier lives on a healthier planet through better collaboration and a shared understanding of what progress looks like.” - Fred Fenter, Executive Editor, Frontiers
