The report on the last five years’ activities of the Scientific Advice Mechanism (SAM) has just been published. It highlights the major SAM outputs and impacts during the first von der Leyen Commission, focusing on 11 Scientific Opinions, that cover a broad range of topics - from ways to improve cancer screening to Solar Radiation Modification. The 2020 Opinion on biodegradable plastics, for example, became the basis of a Commission Communication presenting a policy framework for biobased, biodegradable and compostable plastics. The recommendations of the 2022 Opinion on improving cancer screening were included with minimal changes in Council Conclusions and became a key element in the EU-supported Cancer Screening Scheme under Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan. Interested in knowing more about the impact of these Opinions and how they influenced policy at the EU level and within the EU countries? Know that the report is available here: https://lnkd.in/d5DcjyCD

📢 New Report: We’re proud to share a new overview of the Scientific Advice Mechanism’s work, highlighting how independent, evidence-based advice has helped shape EU policymaking over the past years. From improving cancer screening to exploring solar radiation modification, our scientific opinions have informed decisions on some of the most pressing challenges. This report highlights the impact of the SAM on European policies and decision-making at both the EU and national levels. 🔎 How has scientific advice shaped EU policies? 📑 What are the key takeaways from the past five years? 🚀 What’s next for evidence-informed policymaking in Europe? Read the full report and explore how science continues to shape the future of European policies. 👉 https://lnkd.in/gQrqPtPp
