Science Policy Interfaces in Disaster Risk Management in the EU: Requirements and conditions for efficient SPIs in practice

Abstract

Science Policy Interface #3. Requirements and conditions for efficient Science Policy Interfaces in DRM EU countries use Science Policy Interfaces (SPIs) in different stages of Disaster Risk Management although some challenges and gaps remain in practice. The Current study reveals the requirements for SPIs to create knowledge ready for “action” and the conditions for these at institutional and social level. From these, three practices emerge as critical for success. The framework built serves to monitor and boost SPIs in practice and a source of knowledge to share and strategically work at the DRMKC.JRC.E.1-Disaster Risk Managemen
