✍️ Want your research to make a difference outside academia?
Then you need to know what a policy brief really is — and how to write one that gets read.
Inspiring and actionable. A must-hear session for any ECR or PhD aiming for real-world impact.

Either way, they’ve clearly claimed front row seating.
