Global societal challenges emphasize the importance of collaboration between scientists and policy-makers, while the participation of a diverse group of professionals, including early-career scientists, is critical towards a sustainable future. The European Young Chemists' Network (EYCN) has been actively working with the European Chemical Society (EuChemS) to create a platform for early-career chemists in policy advice. This article comments on the possible roles of scientists in policy-making and provides an overview of relevant initiatives and platforms at the European level that could facilitate involvement. Opportunities for participation in policy advice from the perspective of early-career chemists are discussed and examples of impact are provided, hoping to stimulate further discussions and engagement in policy-making.
全球社会挑战强调了科学家与政策制定者之间合作的重要性，而包括青年科学家在内的多元化专业群体的参与，对于可持续发展的未来至关重要。欧洲青年化学家网络（EYCN）一直与欧洲化学学会（EuChemS）积极合作，为政策咨询领域的青年化学家创建了一个平台。本文评论了科学家在政策制定中的可能作用，并概述了欧洲层面上有助于促进参与的相关倡议和平台。讨论了青年化学家参与政策咨询的机会，并提供了一些有影响力的例子，希望能激发更多关于参与政策制定的讨论和投入。
