The HRLab contributes to WG3 within the COST Action “APPLY - The European network for Argumentation and Public Policy analysis”, aimed at improving the way European citizens understand, evaluate and contribute to public decision-making on such matters of common concern as climate change or energy policies.

​

Addressing this need from a multidisciplinary perspective on argumentation, the APPLY Action identifies gaps between the citizens’, policymakers’ and scholarly experts’ argumentation, and explores ways of treating them.
