Does your research touch on any of the below topics?
POST (Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology) has nine new POSTnotes in production. POST are welcoming contributions from experts within the below fields.
- Blue carbon
- Delivering the Local Nature Recovery Network
- Energy sector digitalisation
- Genome editing and the future of food
- Managing soils for carbon and plant productivity
- Pesticides and health
- Reducing agricultural pressures on freshwater ecosystems
- Space defence
- The impact of early childhood education and care on children’s outcomes
To produce POSTnotes, advisers and fellows talk to a variety of stakeholders from industry, government, academia, and the third sector. These experts help POST identify important themes, point the report authors in the direction of critical literature, and even help POST peer-review the final reports.
On each of the links above there is a contact for the topic. Do get in touch with them to share your research and expertise.
Why should I engage? The POSTnote is POST’s flagship report. It is an impartial, evidenced four-page briefing reviewing emerging areas of research. There are different ways to contribute to a POSTnote as an expert. Researchers can get involved by contributing with literature, with expertise, or as a peer-reviewer. Find out more about why to engage with Parliament here. And find more on engagement for impact here.
