ABOUT US

Overcoming societal challenges requires close collaboration between researchers and policymakers. The Franxini Project was launched over three years ago by the Reatch association to promote mutual understanding by bringing researchers and policymakers together and facilitating a dialogue on equal terms between stakeholders from both worlds.

 

The Franxini Project promotes trust-based cooperation between politics and science. We approach this from two perspectives: On the one hand, we help translate scientific findings into the language of politics. On the other hand, we demonstrate which political questions require scientific answers and which do not. The Franxini Project provides representatives from politics and administration with direct access to scientific expertise, while researchers learn where their expertise is needed in politics and administration and how it can be applied.
