This UCL Public Policy eXtend course is the central point of your Connected Learning experience for Public Policy Engagement: Achieving Policy Impact. 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.
