Hosted by PolicyBristol

This session, delivered by PolicyBristol, will explore how to develop a policy engagement strategy and how to communicate your research impact to relevant stakeholders. 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 requires a basic understanding of policy engagement. The course will cover the policy landscape in more detail, the challenges you may encounter and tips for planning and resourcing your policy engagement strategy.
