Evidence-based policies: Tools for knowledge transfer to the public sector

Mesa de debate

The objective of this session is to share different tools that allow the incorporation of knowledge in regulation and public policies. These are methodologies that, with different levels of exposure and cost, can provide evidence that reduces uncertainty and allow, in the public sphere, the scaling up of solutions step by step -in a similar way to what happens with industrial innovations-.

There are at least four modalities of knowledge that could contribute to the design of policies.

1) Pre-existing knowledge, and for this we must promote the function of scientific advice to governments and parliaments,

2) Knowledge generated ad hoc in simulation experiments or in real public policy pilots – random control trials-

3) Knowledge encapsulated in solutions offered the private sector, promoting for this purpose tools that facilitate their testing and acquisition, such as sandboxes or pre-commercial public purchase schemes.

And 4) Knowledge co-created with public employees themselves and their users through various models, such as citizen laboratories or living labs.
