Method C


Oficina C has laid out a working plan for gathering scientific-technical evidence on different topics of interest to the Deputies. This is the Method C.


Scientific production on complex topics is abundant, multidisciplinary, and constantly evolving. We follow the Method C to contextualise and summarise the available scientific and technological evidence and to produce the Reports C.

Collaborate

If you believe that your scientific and technical expertise can contribute to drafting a Report C, you can contact us by filling out the following form. In it, you need to share your experience and the scientific evidence report in which you wish to participate. This way, we can review it to ensure that it aligns with the scope and content of our reports.

If necessary, we will contact you to interview for approximately 1 hour. Additionally, you will be able to participate in reviewing the report, and your participation will be credited.

"I would like the report to include a bit more technical detail, but I understand the audience it is aimed at and that therefore it should avoid getting into overly technical explanations".

"The initiative is very relevant because the knowledge gathered from experts should help immensely to carry out more coherent actions at the national level".

"It would be interesting to be updated regularly on the impact and relevance of the reports in the Congress of Deputies".
