Policy Workshops

Connecting academic research to emerging policy issues

CSaP Policy Workshops provide a forum for policy professionals and researchers to debate, cross examine and re-evaluate issues that are of direct relevance to public policy, providing decision makers in government with an opportunity to test and shape their thinking. Our Workshops unlock complex policy issues by drawing on our network to convene the right experts in the right setting with subtle event design to explore evidence and ideas. Senior academics and policy makers engage with confidence knowing the calibre of participants is assured and the Chatham House Rule is applied with care. The benefits often extend beyond the original policy questions, as entirely new perspectives on issues open and a network of valuable experts grows.

“For academics who may not think their work is relevant to policy, I’d suggest taking a fresh look. Even if you don’t think Policy Workshops are for you, they quite probably are.”
