COVID-19, resilience and the interface between science, policy and society
This is the last in a series of three reports that explore how science was mobilised
in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The report focuses on system-level issues and
highlights challenges and opportunities that are inherent to the organisation of science
systems and that need to be addressed to improve the resilience of these systems and
their capacity to address complex societal challenges and crises. The analysis is
structured around five interconnected themes: the strategic mobilisation of science
capacity; managing conflicting priorities; co-ordination and collaboration across
levels of governance; transdisciplinary and reflexive science; and dynamic and system-oriented
governance. Key areas for intervention and more specific policy actions are identified
under each theme and provide a framework for systemic action to strengthen science
in support of socio-technological transitions.
