Description
The engagement of academia with practitioners and the development of policy is not new. Think-tanks such as Chatham House and journals such as International Affairs were created as mechanisms form bringing different groups together in the immediate aftermath of the First World War. Today's REF also gives a significant emphasis to impact. This roundtable brings together a number of academics with varying experiences of policy engagement to reflect on their experiences and the lessons that they would pass on to ECRs and so forth.
