  CSPO DC - New Tools for Science Policy

  From Asteroids to Oceans: Using Public Engagement to Inform Policy Decisions

  The Consortium for Science, Policy & Outcomes (CSPO) and its partners have become global innovators in developing methods and tools that bring informed public voices and perspectives into critical scientific and technological decisions. At the next New Tools for Science Policy breakfast, we will present a model of public engagement that recently provided useful input for NASA’s Asteroid Initiative. Working through the Expert and Citizen Assessment of Science and Technology (ECAST) network, CSPO brought together university, museum, and client partners to provide an unprecedented, real-time technology assessment for a federal agency.

  Diversifying the Climate Dialogue

  CSPO Conversations

  Cultivating public discourse and enlarging policy discussions have been central to our work at ASU’s Consortium for Science, Policy & Outcomes (CSPO). As the next big international conference on climate change begins this fall in Paris, CSPO is pleased to host a dialog on ways to include perspectives that have not traditionally been part of the climate conversation. A diversity of voices is essential for confronting a problem as enormous as global climate change: engaging with differing perspectives helps discover innovative approaches and gains the support of citizens impacted by climate policies—policies that have often been plagued by divisiveness and gridlock. In discussing models for citizen engagement, including the recent World Wide Views deliberations on climate and energy, and by hearing from viewpoints that are frequently missing in climate debates, this CSPO Conversations event will inform and enrich our approach to climate change.

  Enlightening Lunch with Brian David Johnson

  Affective Computing (or Strange Little Computers That Do Strange Little Things)

  

  As we approach the year 2020 we will have the ability to turn anything into a computer. In the next 10 years, we will pass a point where the majority of computational intelligence will reside not in our devices but in the world around us. But what do we do with all that intelligence?

  World Wide Views Arizona

  Global Citizen Consultation on Climate and Energy

  

  100 citizens, selected to represent demographic diversity of Arizona, will join similar citizen groups in three U.S. cities and 80 countries in the world to discuss and express their views on an identical set of questions, designed to reflect policy controversies at the UNFCC negotiations to take place in Paris in December of this year (COP 21).
