How to Bring Academic Insights to End-users

An Online Master Class on Policy Literacy for Early-career Researchers

This online master class intends to create a unique opportunity for ECRs to receive timely and designated guidance and feedback from a panel of experts who are experienced in engaging with the end-users of academic research in different ways. Through this master class, the participating ECRs will develop skills to make their research more accessible and relevant to a broad spectrum of end-users. The general audience can also navigate the gaps between research, policy and practice by observing the interactions between the participated ECRs and the experts.
