Launch of first University of York Policy Brief Pilot

News | Posted on Wednesday 11 March 2020

In December 2020 we launched the first University of York Policy Brief Pilot to help support researchers across the University who were looking to move their research into the policy space.

The Pilot consisted of two interactive workshops led by Kate Ravillious, Freelance Science Journalist and Chris Stewart, Freelance Science Communicator and Trainer, and led our researchers through the techniques and steps required to create a thought-provoking, evidence-led brief. These briefs were used to inform and influence policy-makers in specific areas where there are existing calls for evidence or a need for change.
