Description

Influencing Government Policy with Research: doing it, demonstrating it

Being able to demonstrate that your research has had an impact on government policy is akin to the holy grail of research …much sought after but difficult to achieve.

In this workshop you will have the opportunity to reflect on what it takes to influence policy, including the elements that you can control and those that you cannot and the channels that are available to help. You will explore the ‘must haves’ for policy impact, including the big one…intention! Consider who your key players are, how you should channel your energies for best results and the ways you can capture your influential engagement activity.

This session is for you if:

  • You have recently embarked/are soon to embark upon a research project which you feel has the potential to impact on policy
  • You want to refresh/check-in on your thinking around policy impact and how best to make it happen

Key features of the session:

  • Evaluate the context in which you are operating and whether this could help or hinder your policy ambitions
  • Consider the prerequisites for policy impact
  • Explore ways of keeping up to date with policy developments and routes into the policy arena
