How can your research have a greater impact? How do you drive policy change or influence decision makers? What are some of the most effective ways to shape public policy at the local, provincial, or federal level? This two-hour workshop takes a practical approach to answer these and other questions. It covers a range of techniques, from knowledge dissemination (such as preparing compelling policy briefs) to building good government relations and launching large-scale advocacy campaigns. 

To anyone interesting in translating their research and work into broader public or policy change — well, this workshop is for you.

1 to 3 p.m.

How does one prepare for a conversation with the media to discuss their research? What are some best practices for communicating vs. broadcasting research on social media? How is social media different from traditional media? Are there effective ways to broaden your reach, engage diverse stakeholders, measure your success and strategically use media and social media for increased research impact? In this session, we will explore these questions along with discussing the art of storytelling to disseminate your research specifically to media and using social media.
