Hosted by PolicyBristol
This session, delivered by PolicyBristol, will introduce participants to policy engagement. Policy engagement is about exploring ways in which your research can translate, assist or shape the decisions of policymakers. It is about making connections with key stakeholders in your research field and presenting your research in an accessible, streamlined way. This session is designed for researchers at the early stages of their research project, who are considering engaging with policy for the first time.
Learning objectives:
- To understand what support is available in the university to support you in your policy engagement journey
- To understand what is meant by policy engagement
- To understand the role and purpose of different layers of the policy-making landscape, and to feel confident about determining who best to target
- To be able to identify key ‘policy and practice audiences’ and/or stakeholders for your research
- To be able to recognise the challenges of policy engagement and plan to mitigate risks
- To feel confident to apply for funding for policy engagement and impact activities
This workshop will be facilitated by the PolicyBristol team.
