Science Meets Politics
Policy Engagement
Expertise from Academia for Political Decision-Making
Engaged UniBE supports researchers in effectively contributing their expertise to political decision-making processes and in fostering evidence-based solutions to societal challenges.
Consultation and support for researchers: Are you working on a policy-relevant topic and would like to bring your expertise into politics but don’t know how? Engaged UniBE supports you in collaboration with the Ethics and Policy Lab des MCID, which already offers such assistance. We look forward to your inquiry!

Training offer on Policy Engagement: Policy engagement requires a basic understanding of political processes and public administration. As part of the Transferable Skills Programm, the University of Bern offers the workshop Engaging in Policymaking as a Researcher once per semester.
Exchange between researchers, administration, and politics: The dialogue aims to strengthen trust, understanding, and cooperation between research and politics.
Citizen Science Bern
Co-Creating Knowledge
Citizen Science thrives on dialogue: researchers and citizens engage as equals. Whether it's biodiversity research in local neighborhoods, climate monitoring, or participatory urban development – Citizen Science empowers citizens to actively contribute to research. Engaged UniBE supports such co-creative formats through transdisciplinary projects and real-world experiments.
Citizen Science at UniBE – Looking for a Contact Person?
Citizen Science – the active involvement of citizens in research processes – is gaining increasing importance at the University of Bern. We are currently working on gaining an overview of existing activities.
If you are already conducting Citizen Science projects, are interested in this field, or are seeking support, we would be happy to hear from you.
