Science for sound policy
Society’s most urgent challenges demand the best science and innovative policy. We bring together people with a passion for both.
The Trottier Institute for Science and Public Policy (TISPP), established through the visionary support of Lorne Trottier, is committed to developing and promoting policies that expand the contribution of science to human welfare. TISPP prepares scientists to navigate the intellectual, political, and economic landscape required to effect policy change.
‘Conversations that matter’ convenes scientific expertise, knowledge holders and public policy makers to develop policy solutions to our most pressing problems.
