Inhalt und Programm

Content

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 will be discussed by Austrian and international scientists from different disciplines at the first Austrian "Day of Parliamentary Research". The conference combines lectures, panel discussions and poster presentations and is 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 will be held in English. An exception is the panel discussion, which will be held in German and simultaneously translated into English.

At the end of the event (approx. 5 p.m.), all participants will be able to exchange ideas over drinks in the Colonnaded Hall (Säulenhalle). Alternatively, there is the possibility to take part in a guided tour of the Building. If you would like to take advantage of a guided tour, please send an email to parlamentsforschung@parlament.gv.at no later than June 19th 2023.

We are looking forward to an exciting event and hope to welcome you!
