Why do we do research? How do we best ensure that our research leads to the changes we think are needed?

Please join us for an in-depth discussion on how to achieve policy change across a range of topics and processes.

We are excited to welcome Baroness Natalie Bennett, who will share her experience of working in the House of Lords to achieve policy change, as well as three colleagues from Geography who have been working with different partners to move forward the policy agenda in their fields.

The speakers will be followed by a Q&A session and a drinks reception.
