UPEN's theme for this year is 'connecting and collaborating across the academic-policy engagement landscape'. In this conference, we will hear from Kersten England OBE on place-based policymaking, Hannah White CBE on the Institute for Government and what this year and future years might hold for evidence-informed policymaking, and a panel on place-based policymaking. We will also be holding facilitated discussions, networking and showcase spaces to highlight the variety and richness of those working in the sector.
