Background:

In line with Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø’s position as London’s Global University, Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø research and expertise informs policymaking across the globe. However, as noted in Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø’s ‘Evolving the Grand Challenges’ strategy paper, the perceived inaccessibility and fragmentation of Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø hinders potential contributions to international policy responses.

The purpose of this project is to: enhance clarity of Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø’s current international policy engagement and use it to illustrate Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø’s positive global impact, create new opportunities for sharing and learning, and to develop a plan for future support to academics in this field.
