Policy Engagement Series

The York Policy Engine (TYPE) is pleased to offer staff two training sessions led by Whitehall’s Open Innovation Team (OIT).

These sessions are designed to help you enhance your policy engagement skills and amplify the impact of your research on policy. If you're looking to increase your policy engagement capacity, we encourage you to sign up.

For those new to policy engagement, we recommend attending both sessions, as they complement each other. The first provides essential insights into influencing policy, and the second focuses on translating your research into compelling narratives. However, you're welcome to attend either session individually.
