EAStalk webinar with Rebecca Lahl (Leibniz ZMT)

"How to prepare a policy brief?"

Summary of the presentation:

"Scientific knowledge is the key element that underpins the development and implementation of policy.

As we develop further the knowledge base, it is important to communicate those developments to policy makers. We have an increasing presence of Policy Briefs that are written as deliverables and/or outcomes of research projects.

In this EASTalk webinar, Rebecca Lahl of the Leibniz Centre for Tropical Marine Research (ZMT) Office for Knowledge Exchange (OKE) will take us step by step through the preparation of a good policy brief and share her experience on how it should be prepared to achieve maximum impact. This is a skill that all researchers should have. Either if you are preparing policy briefs yourself, or if you need to verbally explain your research to policy makers".
