This module introduces foundational knowledge in public policy engagement. Recognising that many challenges exist, the course content has been designed to help early career researchers and university staff gain an overview of the policy ecosystem and identify strategies and resources to assist them to incorporate academic-policy engagement into their work.
This module offers insights into how to translate research into broader contexts and engage with policy actors, networks and organisations. The goal is for learners to become well-versed in the varying pathways to engagement and impact, and motivated to share their own work and expertise with different actors across the evidence ecosystem.
This module offers practical and pragmatic advice on how to inform policy professionals and better explain the significance of your research. While designed for early career researchers and professionals, it's perfect for anyone seeking to improve their writing skills. Learners will learn more about writing to support policy development, covering both what civil servants and ministers expect and how to provide the information they really need, with a focus on Select Committee inquiries and policy briefs.
