Agree --- One of the functions, important one. And for this to function well, you need the structure to serve it. I always think of the parliament structure. How can this knowledge exchange happen if there is no science committee exist or is represented in this body of informing decisions and policy making? Speaking of my country, Jordan. I also saw parliaments like in the UK and UK where there comes scientific committees, names may change, however, these committees too struggle with communications and other issues and fight to be able to come to the discussion and be able to influence, but having the platform is so important and teaching them how to develop the language and make use of timing to be able to be part of the decision.
