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 by hearing from 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 or in-person training sessions at different locations in the UK.

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 second round of training sessions (phase one took place during spring 2024).
