OPEN Conversation: International Policy Engagement (Online)
Engaging policymakers across international borders requires a nuanced approach that accounts for diverse political, cultural, and regional contexts. Join us in this OPEN conversation, to delve into what works for informing public policy when decision-makers are based overseas.
Drawing from the work of former OPEN award holders in various regions across the Globe, participants will explore key topics such as navigating complex political landscapes, building effective stakeholder networks, and addressing cultural differences.
This is a very interactive session where participants will have the opportunity to exchange ideas with leading experts drawing on their experience working at the intersection of academia and policy:
Dr Isang Awah: Head of Advocacy at the Global Parenting Initiative (GPI), with extensive experience in African policy contexts
Professor Richard Maude: Head of the Epidemiology Department at Mahidol Oxford Tropical Medicine Research Unit, Bangkok, Thailand, offering insights from South-East Asian health policy;
Dr Jose Maria Valenzuela: Postdoctoral researcher at the Institute for Science, Innovation and Society (InSIS), bringing perspectives from Mexico’s energy and climate policy.
Come prepared to ask questions, share perspectives from your own context, and engage in an open dialogue.
