The Research Strategy & Engagement team (Research & Enterprise Directorate) alongside the Faculty Engagement Hub (Medicine, Health & Life Sciences) with input from colleagues in Civic Engagement & Social Responsibility and Queen's Policy Engagement, are delighted to offer this interactive workshop for researchers which will be facilitated by engagement consultant, Dr Jamie Gallagher, an award-winning freelance communicator and engagement professional with ten years’ experience in the delivery and evaluation of quality engagement projects. This workshop will be held in person on Monday 11 September 2023 from 1.00 pm – 5.00 pm. Participants will explore the legislative process and how they can work to influence both policy and policy makers, exploring how to engage with the parliamentary processes, from contributing to a committee meeting to preparing briefing notes and will draw on successful (and unsuccessful) examples to help you to map your own policy engagement journey.
