What is this book about?

This EPRS Book Talk considers Lieve VAN WOENSEL’s recent book ‘A Bias Radar for Responsible Policy-Making: Foresight-Based Scientific Advice’. Written by the head of the Scientific Foresight Service within EPRS, the book offers a practical tool-kit for the development of pro-active, future-proof scientific policy advice. It looks at how emotions and biases affect the understanding and assessment of scientific evidence by citizens, politicians and their advisers – arguing that an awareness of one’s own biases can and should be an integral part of foresight-based policy-making, by helping us consider evidence and citizens’ views with an open mind. The author will be joined by Ivars IJABS, MEP, Second Vice-Chair of the STOA Panel, and Kristel VAN DER ELST from Canada, who will consider how these insights can help make policy-making more ‘future proof’.
