This conference under Belgium Presidency aims at engaging in a dialog with experts in the field of SSAH, knowledge brokers and policymakers with a view to improve the contribution of the SSAH disciplines in evidence-informed policymaking. By way of interactive discussions organised by NIDO (the social innovation lab of the federal government) and using the coaches of LUMEN (the network of coaches of the federal government), the discussions will focus on three main topics: production (of evidence, of evidence-informed policies, of research calls, of brokerage organisations - within government or in academia), professionalisation (where we discuss the roles, the responsibilities, the skilling and rewarding and communication between the actors in the EIPM system) and innovations.
