Engaging with Government and Parliament – Lessons from Canada and the UK

On April 27, 2022, Research Impact Canada (RIC) and Universities Policy Engagement Network (UPEN) jointly organized the webinar, Engaging with Government and Parliament – Lessons from Canada and the UK. The webinar was hosted by Justin Fisher (Brunel University & UPEN) and David Phipps (York University & RIC).

In this presentation, the panelists discussed the research-policy interface and successful engagement with government bodies. This session also featured researchers with experience collaborating with government as well as professional staff supporting those collaborations. This session may be of interest to academic and professional university staff, as well as policymakers from all levels of government.

The panel consists of:

  • Kate Dommett, Senior Lecturer in the Public Understanding of Politics, The University of Sheffield, UK
  • Pierre-Gerlier Forest, Director of The School of Public Policy, University of Calgary, Canada
  • Shawna Teper, Community and Government Relations Officer, York University, Canada
  • Rob Davies, Public Affairs Manager, University College London, UK
