Applications for Policy Masterclasses are now open

The Open Innovation Team (OIT) is now welcoming enquiries from UK universities for its highly regarded Policy Masterclass programme.

OIT has delivered bespoke policy training to academics since 2016, helping them better understand the policymaking process and how they can influence it.

The Policy Masterclass is:

• Tailored to attendee needs: delivered by experienced civil servants, the training can be customised to suit any skill level.
• Interactive and practical: participants will learn how policy works in practice, how to engage with policymakers and what tactics they can use to inform the policy process, including how to ensure their voices are heard in the decision-making process.
• Provides hands-on experience : the session includes exercises and discussions designed to help participants directly apply what they’ve learned to their own work.

We are offering the Masterclass for group bookings from people within the same institution and can also accommodate individual participants in mixed-group courses.

Please note that as a cost-recovery team, OIT charges a fee for this training, which varies based on the course’s duration, complexity and customisation.
