Putting Science into Action: building a research system to address environmental crises (Agile Initiative’s Showcase and Forum on Advanced Policy Research)

OxTalks is Changing

OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Putting Science into Action: building a research system to address environmental crises (Agile Initiative’s Showcase and Forum on Advanced Policy Research)
Environmental crises pose urgent challenges that demand immediate and impactful action. How can we best ensure that robust science is translated into practical tools that allow decision-makers to make real change? At Agile, we believe part of the solution lies in accelerating the pace of research and publication, while fostering deeper collaboration between researchers and policy practitioners.

This half-day event will explore this question further through a keynote lecture by Professor Rachael Garrett, an interactive forum with posters showcasing Sprint research, and insights from Agile’s programme research team. We welcome policy professionals, researchers, and practitioners to join us in a collaborative dialogue about bridging the gap between science and policy.
