About
Local and central governments need to be confident that their policy interventions are effective and successful. Academic expertise has a crucial role to support this process. This 3-year project will foster and support academic engagement with policy professionals, and enable greater understanding and cooperation between universities, national government, parliament and regional and local authorities.
