International Forum on the Social Science – Policy Nexus (IFSP)
A widely discussed Declaration
It was the suggestion of Steering Committee of the International Forum on the Social Science - Policy Nexus to adopt a final Declaration at the close of the Forum.
In order for such a Declaration to reflect the expectations of everyone concerned, the Committee wished the Declaration to be widely discussed. Therefore, a draft declaration was published online on 21 November 2005. It was extensively amended before and also during the Forum.
