The workshops explore novel modalities of knowledge brokerage through different forms of face-to-face dialogues. They aim to enhance the connectivity between different research and policy-making communities by providing specifically tailored arenas for personal exchange, information provision, and offline community-building.

For each of the three policy domains, food, mobility and housing three workshops will be organised that focus on different issues in policy-making:

Workshop I aims to explore the general characteristics of each policy domain and the logics and mindsets of the involved policy-makers and researchers.

Workshop II pays major attention to policy strategies and policy instruments in the respective policy domain and addresses the benefits and shortcomings of scientific policy assessments.

Workshop III concentrates on joint images of sustainable futures in the three domains. These images will be co-developed by policy-makers and researchers to reveal common and diverging views as well as future challenges for knowledge brokerage.
