Nottingham Digitally Engaged 2020: Collaborating with the Third Sector

As part of the Institute for Policy and Engagement’s “Nottingham Digitally Engaged 2020” fortnight, this webinar will hear from NGO and charity experts as well as academics on combining research and advocacy campaigns to achieve policy impact.

How can researchers collaborate with charities and NGOs when looking to achieve policy impact? Charities and think tanks often require an evidence base to support their policy recommendations. In this session we will look at ways to position research alongside established campaigns, whilst still maintaining the research’s integrity and fundamental findings.
