This 3-day workshop conducted by a team of experts from the University College of London (UCL) will provide a foundational introduction to science policy making for society’s benefit. It is designed to give scientists at an early stage of their career, an understanding of how governments and other factors shape the modern scientific enterprise, and manage the positive and negative influences of science on our modern societies. Diverse and growing career opportunities at the intersection of science and public policy will be highlighted throughout the course.

The workshop is limited to 40 women participants who are in early-stage science careers, with an aim to give them a headstart in this emerging area. Applications for the workshop are now closed.
