How does knowledge get into parliament? How do parliaments deal with "uncertain knowledge"? How can a continuous exchange between science and politics be organized? These and other questions were discussed by Austrian and international scientists from different disciplines at the first Austrian "Day of Parliamentary Research". The conference combined lectures, panel discussions and poster presentations and was organized by the Legal, Legislative & Research Services (RLW) of the Parliamentary Administration. It promotes the scientific community's networking and furthers the exchange between science and parliamentary practice.
Detailed information on the program can be found at: Parlamentsforschung | Parlament Österreich.
Most of the event has been held in English. An exception is the panel discussion, which was held in German and has been simultaneously translated into English.
At the end of the event (approx. 5 p.m.), all participants have been able to exchange ideas over drinks in the Colonnaded Hall (Säulenhalle). Alternatively, there was the possibility to take part in a guided tour of the Building.
