Researcher Development : Designing Research for Policy using A Place-Based Approach
| Description | Theme: Education and Research Category: Education and Research This session will be DELIVERED IN-PERSON. This activity is for Research active staff and would be particularly useful to Early Career Researchers.
About this course: What happens when a research idea moves from the academic world into the realities of policymaking? "Designing Research for Policy" is an interactive peer to peer session that challenges researchers to think beyond disciplinary boundaries and respond to places, communities, and policies. The workshop will utilize Devon & Cornwall as the context to showcase how local contexts shape place based policy problems, how different stakeholders inform research, and how research priorities are informed by resource constraints, and need for actionable evidence. The session will enable participants to witness collaboration among academics, local authorities and policymakers using case studies from place based research in Devon & Cornwall. Participants interact a game scenario where they show how research evidence informs policy (or not)! The session will be delivered by interdisciplinary experts, who will work with participants to turn research interests into place based, policy relevant research plans. . Learning outcomes: As a result of attending this course, you will be able to:. - Understand place based policymaking using regional context to show the influence of local policy problems in shaping research priorities. - Apply co-design approach in the research design. - Translate research into policy outcomes by responding to practical considerations such as resources, budgets, timescales, and competing priorities. - Design an interdisciplinary research response to a policy challenge using a mental model simulation.
Who should attend this course: This activity is for Research active staff and would be particularly useful to Early Career Researchers. If you have accessibility requirements, please contact researcherdevelopment@exeter.ac.uk in advance to discuss further.
