  • As a researcher in social policy, the policy-research translation masterclass was a great opportunity to share perspectives with colleagues in policy development roles. It was thought-provoking to hear more about the political, practical and resource considerations that affect policy development. This will help me ensure my research is as relevant and useful as possible to policymakers and maximise its real-world impact.

  • The Masterclass provided some really practical insights that had an immediate impact on our work. We’ve reshaped our research agenda in a way that should deliver much better outcomes.
