In March & April 2016, H&P ran a two day training course – Policy Engagement Training in History & the Social Sciences - aimed towards PhD students, Early Career Researchers and academics to learn how the policy-making process works, and how to engage with policy makers and shapers.
Delegates from KCL were offered free-of-charge spaces, but there were opportunities for non-KCL cohorts to apply for an AHRC bursary or purchase places.
