Uncertainty and expertise in public policy: navigating the unknown 

Public policy is an evolving process that constantly deals with uncertainty. No matter how well-designed a policy or solution may be, decision-makers must confront the reality that complete knowledge is never available. In today’s rapidly changing world, the expertise that informs public policy is often clouded by incomplete data, unpredictable social and economic trends, and unforeseen consequences. How can policymakers manage uncertainty while striving for effective solutions? 

Join us in the second thematic webinar of the FUTURESILIENCE project: "Uncertainty and expertise in public policy", where we will explore the role of uncertainty in developing and implementing public policies. This discussion will explore the challenges of balancing expert knowledge with the limitations inherent in complex systems. We will examine case studies and explore strategies for crafting resilient policies that can adapt to the unknown while ensuring effective governance. 

This webinar is designed for policymakers, researchers, civil society actors, public servants, and all those interested in the intersections of knowledge, decision-making, and governance in uncertain times.

Speakers:

  • Experimenting with challenge-driven policies – Arnault Morrison, Sciences Po 
  • Control and uncontrol in pandemic crisis management – André R Karlsen, NTNU Social Research
