Linda Lammensalo on writing a handbook for Finnish researchers

The Finnish Academy of Science and Letters has been active in the science-for-policy space in Finland for decades, including in recent years playing a leading role in setting up an important science advice mechanism for the Finnish government. Now it has also published a comprehensive handbook for researchers, with advice and practical exercises to help guide them in their first steps in policy engagement.

In this episode, Linda Lammensalo talks to Toby Wardman about what's in the handbook and why.
