UCL STEaPP Workshops on Science Advice
At the start of the department’s research programme on science advice, UCL STEaPP organised two high-impact academic workshops in 2015 that contributed to at least 16 publications in subsequent years.
UCL STEaPP funded and organised a theoretical workshop on ‘Latour and Environmental Governance’ at Cumberland Lodge, Windsor on 18–19 May 2015 and a workshop on ‘Empirical Studies of Roles of Scientific Advisors’ at UCL 188 Tottenham Court Road, London on 18 June 2015. The organisation of both workshops was led by Professor Arthur Petersen.
This page contains the programmes of both workshops and up-to-date links to the subsequent published versions of the papers that were discussed at these workshops.
