The UK Parliament Knowledge Exchange Unit have announced a new online Parliament for Researchers with the House of Lords training session.
In this session, they will be joined by Lord Krebs who will share insights on the value of academic research in Parliament, informed by his background in Biological Sciences.
About the session
During the session, you will find out about how research evidence is used in both the House of Commons and the House of Lords, and how you can work with Parliament as a researcher.
Who is this for?
This session is suitable for early career researchers, PhD students and researchers who are new to engaging with the UK Parliament as well as those who would benefit from a refresher. The session will cover useful information for researchers of all academic backgrounds and will be of particular interest to those in the life sciences.

The session will take place online, on Wednesday 11 September, 13:00-14:00. You can register for the session here.
Each subsequent session will focus on a different academic discipline or topic. Details for future sessions will be shared on the KEU website.
