About this event

COVID-19 has highlighted the extent to which researchers who publicly share their expertise and the results of research face harassment and personal threats. The intimidation of experts has recently garnered significant media attention, but it is a problem that has affected the safety, well-being, and work of those who produce knowledge for some time. There is significant risk not only to researchers, but also to the public if the threat of intimidation prevents researchers from sharing knowledge and expertise.

These risks, and some steps to mitigate them, are articulated in the Royal Society of Canada Policy Briefing on Protecting Expert Advice for the Public.

On February 11, at 2:00 pm EST, the RSC is hosting an hour-long free virtual Town Hall convening the authors of this report to discuss key challenges in ongoing efforts to draw on expert advice to support effective public debate and decision-making to help Canada through, and beyond, the pandemic.

__________

La COVID-19 a mis en évidence la mesure dans laquelle les chercheurs qui font partager au public leur expertise et les résultats de leurs recherches sont victimes de harcèlement et de menaces personnelles. L’intimidation des experts a récemment attiré l’attention des médias, mais il s’agit d’un problème qui mine déjà un certain temps déjà la sécurité, le bien-être et le travail de ceux qui produisent du savoir. Cette intimidation pose un risque certain non seulement pour les chercheurs, mais aussi pour le public, si les menaces d’intimidation en viennent à empêcher les chercheurs de faire partager leur savoir et leur expertise.

Ces risques, ainsi que certaines mesures pour les atténuer, sont décrits dans la Séance d’information sur la politique de la Société royale du Canada sur la protection des conseils d’experts pour le public.

Le 11 février, à 14 h 00 HNE, la SRC tiendra une assemblée publique virtuelle gratuite d’une heure réunissant les auteurs de ce rapport pour discuter des principaux défis des efforts continus visant à tirer parti des conseils d’experts pour appuyer un débat public et une prise de décision efficaces afin d’aider le Canada à traverser et à surmonter la pandémie.
