Policy Engagement in Action: Reflections from OPEN Visiting Fellowship at Oxford’s SKOPE Research Centre

This event discusses research-policy engagement and features Helen Tattam’s Oxford Policy Engagement Network (OPEN) Fellowship at the University of Oxford’s Centre on Skills, Knowledge and Organisational Performance (SKOPE).

Helen Tattam is a Strategy Lead in the Department for Education’s Skills Strategy Unit. During her time as an OPEN Fellow, she has worked closely with colleagues from SKOPE on joint events, collaborative projects, and shared learning, with a particular focus on skills and tertiary education policy.

During this event, Helen will reflect on her experiences of the policymaking process and collaborating with researchers, followed by reflections from SKOPE academics and researchers: James Robson, Gonzalo Hidalgo Bazan, Adam Saunders, Yushan Xie, and Xin Xu. Together, we will discuss the messy realities of policymaking, and what this means for approaching policy collaboration productively.

This event is open to all with an interest in research–policy collaboration. No registration is required.

Attend via MS Teams.
