How do we transform research data into actionable guidance that shapes real-world policy?This is the theme of our upcoming workshop, “Writing Policy Recommendations,” hosted by the University of Agder on 23 June 2026. The event is organized by RECODE-MLG, in partnership with the sister projects MICAD and DeCrises.

  
Translating research results into effective and lasting policy requires more than simply summarizing lengthy reports; it demands a genuine understanding of the challenges and dilemmas faced by public authorities. This interactive workshop combines hands-on exercises with reflective discussions to equip participants with the essential dos and don’ts of drafting clear, evidence-based recommendations that can influence decision-making.

Featured speakers: 

• Matúš Mišík (Associate Professor, Comenius University Bratislava)
• Jon Halvard Eide (Agder County Municipality, Norway)
• Rebecca Marconi (Project Manager, ALDA – European Association for Local Democracy)
• John Erik Fossum (ARENA Centre for European Studies, University of Oslo)
