BAM-ABCP Joint Webinar: Engage with the UK Parliament to support better policy

Webinar synopsis

It’s increasingly recognised by funding councils that engaging with the UK Parliament is a great way towards research impact. But how can academics develop the competence to engage with policymakers? This webinar helps academic to understand ways to work with the Parliament. We also provide hand-on practices for academics who wish to support better policy through the Select Committee of the UK Parliament.

The joint BAM-ABCP webinar will help attendees to gain greater understanding about how to prepare accessible written evidences for the Select Committee and how to communicate effectively when invited to Parliament. Delivered by senior academics engaged in cutting edge research, the session aims to develop competence of attendees to engage with policymakers effectively. There will also be opportunities to discuss ways to get the best out of the process and networking with fellow academics, and other management researchers, all in one place.
