Introduction to Policy New
Led by "Sense About Science," participants will gain an understanding of how to approach writing a policy brief and why it needs to be different from an academic paper. We will provide a policy briefing template and guide ECRs through how they should approach each section – key findings, context, policy recommendations, plus language and tone – to get maximum engagement from policy makers.
The second session is made up of group work and discussions so that participants can start thinking practically about how to approach policy engagement in their domain. We will work through policy engagement exercises, for example a zooming out exercise (what issues can you comment on, where can you lend your voice) and stakeholder mapping exercises (identify your policy maker and opinion-forming audience). Depending on the mix of participants, we will decide whether participants will be grouped according to research topic or kept in mixed groups.
