Science Policy: Improving the Uptake of Research into UK Policy (virtual)

23 - 25 August 2021

This Wellcome Connecting Science virtual event will bring policymakers and academic researchers together to help break down barriers, encourage mutual understanding, and ultimately enable improved evidence-based policymaking. The course will focus on how policy is made in the UK, with one session focusing on international policy considerations.

If you are a PhD researcher, post-doctoral fellow or and faculty with an interest in learning how to influence science policy this event is for you. You will learn from and engage with a variety of policymakers from academia, societies, think tanks and parliament. We will also convene a panel of MPs to give participants a ’ behind the scenes look at policy from the political perspective.
