Una notizia che esce stasera su Galileo e un Workshop.
Ciao,
M
Dimezzare il numero di morti nel mondo. Per raggiungere questo risultato
non serve la scoperta del millennio. Basterebbero le conoscenze attuali,
complementate da un buon funzionamento dei sistemi sanitari. E' la stima
che compare nello studio ?Conoscenze per migliorare la salute: rafforzamento
dei sistemi sanitari?, realizzato da ricercatori dell'Organizzazione Mondiale
della Sanit�. ?Trasformare la conoscenza in azione non � un obiettivo costoso
o irraggiungibile?, ha affermato Tikki Pang, che coordina il progetto. E'
il caso della malaria. ?Solo fra il 2 e il 15 per cento dei bambini africani
dormono con una zanzariera. Eppure � stata dimostrata l'efficacia di questo
semplice mezzo per bloccare la malattia?. La medicina non si dovrebbe limitarsi
a ?produrre? farmaci o terapie, ma anche dedicarsi a ?ridistribuire la
ricchezza?
rappresentata da questo sapere. Eppure, solo l'un per cento degli articoli
biomedici pubblicati nel mondo nel 2000 � dedicato a studi che indaghino
?come applicare le scoperte in deversi sistemi politici, sociali e di salute,
garantendo che arrivino a chi en ha pi� bisogno?

>Dear colleagues,
>
>On 16 - 17 December 2004 we are organising a workshop on "Comparative
>Perspectives on Scientific Expertise for Public Policy" at the
>Netherlands Royal Academy of Sciences in Amsterdam.
>We would like to invite you to this event.
>
>The workshops is organised by the Dutch research programme
>RETHINKING POLITICAL JUDGMENT AND SCIENCE-BASED EXPERTISE:
>BOUNDARY WORK AT THE SCIENCE/POLITICS NEXUS OF DUTCH KNOWLEDGE INSTITUTES.
>
>The workshop will address the complex relations between science-based
>experts and public policy, from the combined perspective of Policy Science
>and Science and Technology Studies. The focus will be on a comparative
>perspective, both between policy sectors in the Netherlands and between
>countries. The goals of the workshop are threefold:
>
>1. Compare the organisation of expert advice for public policy in the
>Netherlands and internationally, with focus especially on Europe.
>2. Research what the Netherlands can learn from experiences elsewhere,
>both in terms of research and in terms of policy (specifically for the
>organisation of expert policy advice).
>3. Create a European network of researchers, in which systematic
>comparative research on the organisation of expertise for public policy
>can be initiated.
>
>The program will include presentations by Paul Sabatier, Ortwin Renn,
>Peter Weingart, Les Levidow and others, and will also present ongoing
>research in the Rethinking programme.
>
>A preliminary programme can be found on our website:

>Please note that the number of participants will be limited to about 35
>to maintain the informality of the debate. Please let me know asap if you
>are interested in participation.
