The RPIC aims to equip academics with the right tools for translating their research into policy impact.
Access customised training workshops that teach practical skills you can immediately use to engage with Government, Parliament, and the media.
Our expertise
Founded by two leading communications and public affairs agencies with extensive experience working with universities, Tendo Consulting and The Other Place, the Centre is uniquely positioned to offer customised, interactive policy-influencing workshops.
Providing you with the right tools for effective policy influencing and writing
All our training is tailored to your institution’s unique needs and requirements - whether you need our help understanding the innerworkings of Parliament and the Civil Service and want to learn how to engage them or you want more practical guidance on the short form of effective policy writing - we can adapt our sessions to fit your needs.
In-person and remote options
We can deliver our training conveniently either by joining you on your campus or via virtual sessions.

“Understanding how to make real-world impact can be a mystery for academics. The training gave me a much better understanding of how to work with parliament in particular but also the key role the media plays in gaining influence in public debate.”
— Professor Nancy Preston, Lancaster University's Faculty of Health and Medicine
