The Delegation for Collective Scientific Expertise, Foresight and Advanced Studies

The mission of the Delegation for Collective Scientific Expertise, Foresight and Advanced Studies (DEPE) is to enlighten decision-making in the fields of the environment, agriculture and food. To do so, it pools relevant available knowledge to answer the questions facing public action. In this context, the scientific reports, foresight work and advanced studies produced help to build public policies, provide arguments for debate over social issues and participate in the formulation of new research questions. Such studies mobilise dozens of scientists and experts for several months, culminating in the production of a public report as well as documents of a more general nature intended for a wider audience. A part of this work can be found in this presentation.
