The event will focus on how researchers and DCMS can use the ARIs to strengthen and consolidate research partnerships. The session will introduce the ARIs, DCMS’s broader science system, and outline case studies of how evidence is used at DCMS. There will then be a session designed for researchers and policymakers to connect as part of curated roundtables exploring specific ARI themes on three topics of focus, followed by a series of presentations from academics reflecting on their research’s engagement with policy. The afternoon concludes with the opportunity for informal networking. There will be light refreshments provided (please note that lunch will not be provided).
