August 2019 Newsletter
August is traditionally a quieter month in both higher education and policy circles.

We have been working on a report with our regional partner universities which seeks to improve the understanding of policy engagement experiences for UK-based researchers, using findings from a GW4-funded project. 

Launched last week, we now will be working with the University Policy Engagement Network to discuss one of the report's key recommendations; to create a National Centre for Universities and Public Policy.
