This training programme is designed to support researchers to make a demonstrable difference to evidence-informed public policy with their research. Participants will:

  • learn from experts in policy engagement and research impact
  • gain policymaker insights through direct interaction with policymakers
  • have the opportunity to join an alumni network for continued support, collaboration, and professional growth post-training

The programme consists of a self-paced online training course and live virtual training sessions.

You must be an environmental, economic or social science researcher at postdoctoral level or higher, based at an organisation which is eligible to apply to ESRC or NERC.

Note: this is the third round of training sessions (phase two took place during autumn 2024).

There are four modules. Each module will be broken into two half-days to avoid digital fatigue.

We encourage you to attend the full training course. However, you can pick and choose which modules to attend. Participants need to attend both half day sessions for the modules they choose.
