Academic researchers

We believe that policy makers achieve the best results when they have access to expertise and evidence from a range of disciplines. The IfG Academy offers workshops and written resources with practical guidance and support for academics on the best ways to feed their research and expertise into the policy making process.

Our workshops on engaging with policy makers cover how government and policy making work, routes to engagement, and how to communicate with policy audiences. Workshops are flexible in length and format, and can be aligned with particular priorities or policy areas. We provide workshops for research councils, universities and other academic bodies, and partner with the Universities Policy Engagement Network to promote the use of evidence in policy making.
