Scientists from across the @maxplanckgesellschaft, including Josipa Zupanic & Vidur Mithal from #MPIM, came together in #Berlin last week to look beyond their research and dive into #SciencePolicy. They explored how science & decision-making interact at national & international levels. The workshop showed how many institutions & processes support the scientific system & how important it is for researchers to engage with them—especially when #FreedomOfScience is under threat.
