Slovenian National System for Assuring Knowledge-Based Policy
Policy making in the 21st century requires robust evidence, impact assessment, and monitoring. Scientific advice must be independent of political interests, bringing together insights from various disciplines for transparent decision-making. This system involves various entities such as ministries, research institutes, universities, and ad-hoc working groups. It emphasizes the importance of linking science with policy-making through reconciling scientific research with national and EU strategies, creating new knowledge, and involving experts in economic policy reforms. The system facilitates direct and indirect links between science and policy by presenting results at conferences, workshops, and preparing professional monographs.

INTRODUCTION Policy making in the twenty first century requires robust evidence, impact assessment and adequate monitoring and evaluation. Scientific advice needs to be independent of political or institutional interests, bring together evidence and insights from different disciplines and approaches, and ensure adequate transparency. High quality scientific advice, provided at the right time in the policy cycle, will improve the quality of EU legislation, and therefore contribute directly to the better regulation agenda.

SLOVENIAN SYSTEM LINKING SCIENCE WITH POLICYMAKING: RECONCILIATION OF THE CONTENT OF THE SCIENTIFIC AND RESEARCH WORK PROGRAM WITH NATIONAL AND EU STRATEGIC DOCUMENTS CREATION OF THE NEW FUNDAMENTAL KNOWLEDGE AND TRANSFER OF THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE AND METHODOLOGY IN THE PREPARATION OF THE EXPERT BASES FOR ECONOMIC POLICY OR REFORM PROPOSED MEASURES (direct linking) PARTICIPATION IN THE WORKING GROUPS OF MINISTRIES (involving representatives of different ministries, other government institutions, social partners and experts) INDIRECT LINKING - Presentation of results at national and international scientific and professional conferences and workshops, preparation of scientific and professional monographs, publication of scientific results in national and international journals
INSTITUTE FOR ECONOMIC RESEARCH OUR EXPERIENCES OUR MISSION IS: a. to create new basic knowledge and implementation of the top internationally recognized research in the area of economics b. the use of fundamental knowledge and advanced scientific methods in applied and development projects, c. education and training of young researchers, as well as transmission of knowledge in the pedagogic process at the Universities. RESEARCH PROGRAM follows the content of the principal national strategic document (Development Strategy of Slovenia 2030) and EU (Horizon Europe, 2021- 2027). It therefore focuses on research areas that are important for the societal, economic, social, spatial, regional and sustainable development of the Republic of Slovenia. investigation, development and use of appropriate methodologies and tools that enable us to make a qualitative contribution to the preparation of expert bases for the implementation and monitoring of the Development Strategy of Slovenia 2030.
