Interested in recent research on knowledge exchange between academics and the four UK legislatures? Have questions around what are the key facilitators and barriers to a healthy knowledge exchange environment within this context?

UPEN are delighted to welcome a presentation from Dr Marc Geddes (University of Edinburgh) and Dr Danielle Beswick (University of Birmingham), who authored the report on Evaluating Academic Engagement with UK Legislatures. To achieve a healthy environment for knowledge exchange to take place, their report suggested a number of recommendations relevant to both legislatures and HEIs. The presentation will be followed by a Q&A session. This event is brought to you in partnership with the University of Edinburgh. Please note, the event is for UPEN Members .
