Who do you need to engage with in the policy world to achieve impact? In this workshop, we will help answer this and other questions by equipping researchers, professional services staff and DPhil students to identify and map the people and groups who influence or are impacted by their research, when it comes to policy engagement. Using stakeholder analysis frameworks and interactive exercises, participants will learn to identify and categorise their relevant audiences across government agencies and other pertinent policy actors.

Learning outcomes: – A greater ability to identify, evaluate and prioritise those in the policymaking community who may have an interest in policy-relevant research – A better understanding of the value of a systematic stakeholder analysis – The guidance and resources available to support a stakeholder analysis
