What is PINE?

Because PINE enhances the range of evidence available to policymakers, enabling better decision-making on questions that matter to the public good.

Plural decisions are always more robust if informed by more than one type of evidence. Singular perspectives are not enough, whether embodied in an individual expert or only one academic discipline.

Innovative evidence means using knowledge, methods or expertise that have not commonly been deployed in relation to policymaking.

Novel evidence uses knowledge, methods or expertise productively in an entirely different policy domain to the context in which they are conventionally used.
