Engaging With Policy Makers

How to use your research and expertise to influence policy.

The half-day session includes:

• What policy makers want/expect from academics.

• How to join and influence existing policy debates.

• How to establish the “key points” you want to share in a busy, fast moving policy environment

• Dealing with opposition or counter-argument. Acknowledging the numerous stakeholders in any area of policy – some of whom may not like what you are saying!

This highly interactive workshop uses audio and video examples of good and bad practice, group exercises and role play. 

“Fabulous, practical, insightful & funny morning with actual broadcasting heroes @clairebolderson @CMFinns and @RobinLustig. Training us to communicate academic research with clarity, brevity and compassion.”
