The Oxford Policy Engagement Network offers a range of opportunities throughout the year for Researchers and Professional Services Staff at Oxford University to learn about, and improve their skills for, policy engagement.

Policy engagement is an umbrella term describing the many ways that researchers and policymakers connect and explore common interests at various stages in their respective research and policymaking processes. From informal enquiries to formal inquiries, in consultation or sustained collaboration, policy engagement enables researchers and policymakers to improve public policy through making the most of their evidence, expertise and experience.

Many areas of research are relevant for policy engagement, and there are opportunities relevant to all career stages.
