Surfacing Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion within Academic‑Policy Engagement

This report synthesises the current state of play of equity, diversity, and inclusion in academic-policy engagement. Drawing on a survey of member institutions, the report surfaces challenges to adopting inclusive approaches to academic-policy engagement, and sets out recommendations for UPEN members, research funders, knowledge brokers, and policy professionals. Through signalling to the policy arena the importance of EDI within all parts of the engagement ecosystem, the report aims to spark discussion of how to embed EDI into agendas going forward.
