Experts and Uncertainty: Reliable Evidence for Important Decisions?
Thursday, 3rd May 2018, 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Registration from 9:30 amThis event will present and discuss how to use expert judgement effectively. Expert judgement input into policy and decision making processes to guide evidence-based decisions is often incomplete, insufficient, or non-existent. Just as there are techniques promoting the collection of high-quality observational data, there are principles and practices designed to ensure the quality of expert judgement inputs as well. Structured expert judgement has been used in over 100 applications by a range of entities including the World Health Organization, the Gates Foundation, NASA, and more.
In this 2-hour event we will discuss what we have learned about collecting and using expert judgement in a variety of fields including health, ecology and risk assessment.
Registration and refreshments will be available from 9.30am. Lunch will be provided following the event.
