Science policy essentials for PGRs

Understanding the science policy landscape gives you access to a wealth of resources that may be used to inform your PhD research and will give you a significant edge in terms of your career development within and beyond academia.

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

· Identify the main online sources of information relating to UK science and innovation policy

· Understand how this information can be used to good effect in doctoral research

· Consider how this knowledge can be utilised in other areas of life, e.g., pursuing a career in research support services or the science policy arena
