Getting Started in Policy Engagement
Are you interested in building connections between academia and policy, and in sharing your research to help shape better public policies? This introductory session is designed for researchers, DPhil students, and professional services staff who are new to policy engagement and want to develop a structured understanding of how to get started.
Through a combination of short presentations and discussion with peers, participants will explore their motivations for impact and gain practical insights into engaging with the public policy world.
Learning outcomes:
- A better understanding of the differences between policy influence, impact, and engagement – Enhanced understanding of the policy process at different levels of government (local, regional, national and international) – Increased awareness of practical tools and strategies to create a policy engagement plan
