The role of scientific advisory bodies and Biden administration: a laboratory for an evidence-based decision-making process?

Abstract

Abstract: This article provides an analysis of the approach taken by Biden administration to the involvement of scientific consultative bodies within its decision-making processes. Particular relevance is devoted to the political commitment to enforce an evidence-based method of political decision-making, which is concretely defined in a number of institutional and regulatory initiatives, that may contribute to defining Biden administration as a laboratory in this context.
