The UK-wide Universities Policy Engagement Network (UPEN), which BU is a member of, would like to find out what you think about engaging with Parliament as an academic researcher.
It doesn’t matter whether you’ve ever engaged with Parliament previously.
UPEN wants to know
- how academics perceive Parliament,
- what are some of the key barriers to engaging with it, and
- what measures could be put in place to encourage more academics and researchers to ensure their research informs the work of Parliament.
If you take part, you could potentially win a £100 Amazon voucher and it should take just 5 minutes to complete the survey.
You can complete the survey at this link: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/OpeningUpParliament
The survey is open to all academic and research staff, and PhD students, based at any UK university.
The deadline for responses is 31st May.
