In today’s increasingly complex world, decision-makers are tasked with solving problems that demand deep understanding and carefully considered solutions. Scientific research is essential in this process, offering evidence-based insights that help leaders grasp key issues and evaluate the implications of their choices.

But how can researchers ensure their work effectively informs policy? What strategies have been successful in bridging the gap between research and policymaking, and what should researchers keep in mind when engaging with government officials?

Join us for a thought-provoking masterclass with Professor Robin May, Chief Scientific Adviser to the UK Government’s Food Standards Agency, and Professor Charles Godfray, Director of the Oxford Martin School. Drawing on their extensive experience at the intersection of science and policy, they will share practical insights, real-world examples, and lessons learned for researchers to engage with policymakers and enhance their impact on policy.
