Missing Link?

Is there a link between research and policy? The Sustainable Economic Development Unit (SEDU) of The University of the West Indies (UWI), with the support of The UNESCO Kingston Cluster Office for the Caribbean, addressed this question in the conference entitled “Bridging the Gap between Research and Policy for Sustainable Development in Caribbean Small Island Developing States (SIDS)”. The Conference was held at the Faculty of Social Sciences Lounge, UWI, St. Augustine Campus.

The conference reflects SEDU’s continued efforts to deepen discussions on how research institutions and can collaborate with national industries to bridge the gap between research and policy, and achieve sustainable development.
