The Natural Environment Research Council and Green Alliance are holding a joint workshop on Friday 20 March 2015, London, to bring together academics and NGOs working on food research and policy.
The workshop aims to identify:
- The overlap between issues that NGOs are focused on, which need a stronger evidence base, and the issues that academics are working on.
- How these efforts could be better integrated in order to enable greater impact.
- Whether NGO input into research and funding priorities would align research needs and potential impact more closely.
- How the opportunities that attendees identify for more effective NGO-academic interaction can be realised.
- The role that NERC can play.
