The UK Data Service (UKDS) is running a free in-person event, held in The Engine Room at the People’s History Museum in Manchester. This event will support ECRs to develop their skills in communicating their research for translation into policy. This workshop offers practical tools and inspiring perspectives to help you take the next step, with attendance from stakeholders interested in policy engagement. Through sessions such as ‘Stakeholder Speed-Dating’, Panel Discussions, and Lightning Keynotes, this interactive workshop looks like a great opportunity for ECRs to learn how to translate their data into impact through policy.
