Facilitators: Lenny Rolles (Associate Director, Public Affairs) and Alex Waddington, (Strategy Manager, Policy@Sussex).
This online session is intended to help BSMS researchers think about how research engagement can have an impact on policies and practices – and improve people’s health. It is aimed at those with no or little previous experience of policy engagement. The session will: explore the personal and wider society benefits of engaging with policy; look at examples of research that has had a policy impact; give you chance to hear from fellow academics about their experiences; allow you to interact with colleagues interested in this area; introduce you to Policy@Sussex – and learn how it can support your work and link you to resources and suggest next steps.
