Research Engagement with Public Policy

Researchers from across the University of Edinburgh engage with policymakers at all levels of government and legislative bodies for mutual benefit.

The Research Engagement and Impact Team helps build capacity of University researchers to engage with policymakers by:

  • Providing bespoke advice and support
  • Designing and delivering training events
  • Targeting and brokering opportunities
  • Providing internal funding schemes for knowledge exchange and engagement aimed at developing policy impact
  • Providing resources on engaging with policymakers on the HUBsite for the research community (UoE staff only)

If you are a policymaker or a researcher looking to collaborate to create public policy impact, our Policy Engagement with Research Manager, Shonagh McEwan would be delighted for you to get in touch. She can identify the best suited expertise, drawing on a network of colleagues across the University.
