• How do parliaments engage with research evidence?
• What are the most effective ways to get your research discussed in parliament?
• How research can impact on the workings of parliaments themselves
• How to build relationships with elected representatives and parliamentary support staff for long term research impact
• Building policy engagement into academic careers
