The COVID-19 pandemic represents an unprecedented challenge for societies worldwide. One challenge is that political decisions must be made under conditions of extreme uncertainty. An evidence-based politics (EBP) is often proposed as a response to theCOVID-19 pandemic. However, the debates since the outbreak of the pandemic have also shown that it is unclear what exactly such an EBP is and might look like. To develop a convincing political answer to the pandemic, it is necessary to clarify this concept. Therefore, the project uses an interdiscipilanry approach between political philosophy and public health. Political philosophy has been dealing with global crises (such as climate change) and how politics should react to them. Against this theoretical background, the philosophical subproject will analyse the concept of EBP in terms of its inherent models of science, the relationship between science and politics and the underlying normative assumptions. The science of public health and its core discipline epidemiology has received a lot of attention in the COVID-19 pandemic but views as to how political public health scientists should be varies. The aim of the public health subproject is to reflect the relationship between public health science and politics by interviews with scientific representatives from epidemiology and document analysis of published position papers and policy briefs from relevant scientific societies. For a comprehensive reflection of EBP, the project chooses an interdisciplinary perspective. By integrating political philosophy and public health, the project recon-structs, analyses and criticizes the concept of EBP from an interdisciplinary perspective. This allows to develop and justify a comprehensive EBP model for a convincing political response during the COVID-19 and future pandemics.

2019冠状病毒病大流行对全球社会构成了前所未有的挑战。一个挑战是，政治决策必须在极端不确定的情况下做出。基于证据的政治（EBP）经常被提议作为应对covid -19大流行的措施。然而，疫情爆发以来的辩论也表明，目前尚不清楚这种EBP究竟是什么，可能是什么样子。为了对这一流行病提出令人信服的政治答案，有必要澄清这一概念。因此，该项目采用了政治哲学和公共卫生之间的跨学科方法。政治哲学一直在处理全球危机（如气候变化）以及政治应该如何应对。在此理论背景下，哲学子项目将从科学的固有模型、科学与政治之间的关系以及潜在的规范性假设等方面分析EBP的概念。在新冠肺炎疫情中，公共卫生科学及其核心学科流行病学受到了广泛关注，但对于政治公共卫生科学家应该如何发展，人们的看法各不相同。公共卫生子项目的目的是通过采访流行病学领域的科学代表和对相关科学学会发表的立场文件和政策简报进行文件分析，反映公共卫生科学与政治之间的关系。为了全面反映EBP，该项目选择了跨学科的视角。本项目通过整合政治哲学和公共卫生，从跨学科的角度对EBP概念进行重构、分析和批判。这使我们能够开发和证明一个全面的EBP模型，以便在2019冠状病毒病和未来大流行期间采取令人信服的政治应对措施。
