About
The University of Cambridge’s Centre for Science and Policy (CSaP) and the Wellcome Sanger Institute would like to invite early and mid-career biological researchers (post PhD) to our joint policy training workshop.
Through a series of talks from policymakers and academics, the workshop will equip researchers with an overview of various pathways to policy engagement, giving insights into how government departments and parliamentary committees utilise research. The workshop includes interactive activities designed to build essential skills to engage with policy and support researchers in their future policy engagement activities, grant applications or career progression.
The workshop will take place from 9AM to 2:15PM on 19th March 2025 at Jesus College, Cambridge, CB5 8BL. Lunch will be provided.
