Hosted by the Universities Policy Engagement Network
In this session there will be a general introduction to the Areas of Research Interest (ARI) by Professor Tom Rodden (Chief Scientific Adviser to DCMS) and then we will briefly hear from each of the four DCMS directorates -Arts Heritage & Tourism, Civil Society & Youth, Media & Creative Industries, and Sport & Gambling. There will then be an opportunity to go into break out rooms for each of the directorates to further discuss their evidence needs. You will be asked to identify which room you wish to be allocated to in advance of the session.
This is an opportunity for both knowledge brokers and academics to engage with Government policy makers. The event is being facilitated by Laura Bea (UPEN - l.bea@ucl.ac.uk), Eleanor Rees (DCMS) and Elizabeth Lomas (ARI DCMS Fellow).
