Welcome to the Science for Parliament podcast.
This is the first podcast that aims to foster the relationship between science and decision makers and show how research and innovation are vital to the equitable and sustainable functioning of our societies and economies.
It is presented by Dennis Naughten, a directly elected member of parliament in Ireland for the last 27 years, who has served as an Irish cabinet minister, and on the Council of the European Union ministers. He is chairperson of the Inter-Parliamentary Union Working Group on science and technology which is based in Geneva, which aims to inspire global parliamentary action through legislative work in the field of science and technology.
The podcast aims to highlight the work of innovative people in the world of science and to get their perspective of what needs to be done to bring the world of science and policy closer together.
To add something different to the conversation each guest is asked to pick two numbers, each of which is related to one of 10 random questions, some of which will be asked during the interview.
On today's show, Denis talks about water caucuses, what they are and how they can help water access and security with John Oldfield , CEO of Accelerate Global and former director of Global Water 2020.
