What is science policy?

Science Policy is the intersection of science and government: both how government directs and supports science and innovation; and how science provides evidence to inform government policy and decision making.

​

What does OSPN do?

At the Ottawa Science Policy Network (OSPN) we aim to engage more students in science policy (for instance by running Science Policy 101 workshops); enhance the equity, diversity and inclusion for students conducting research; promote the use of scientific research in decision making; and advocate for student and next-generation researchers (including our highly viewed report on graduate student finances and outreach to politicians)."
