This online half-day workshop is open to all academics and there are limited places, so book via OD now! Once booked, you will be sent a Zoom link to join the session nearer the time.

• Create a powerful impact plan that will guarantee your research makes a difference without wasting your time.
• Learn how to design an effective policy brief.
• Pitch evidence-based policy options powerfully in meetings and seminars.
• Learn how to get your research into policy, wherever you work in the world, by building trust and working with intermediaries.
• Track, evaluate and evidence policy impacts, discovering time-efficient ways to keep track of impacts as they arise, and design an impact evaluation that convincingly attributes impacts to your research.
• Be inspired by primary research and case studies that illustrate each point.
