The Royal Society invites applications for its pairing scheme. This enables research scientists to be paired with parliamentarians and civil servants in order to gain insight into how parliament and government work and how to use research findings to inform policy making. Participants gain an insight into how research findings can help inform policy making, and come away with a better understanding of how they can get involved. The scheme begins with a week in Westminster, during which the scientists take part in workshops, hear from invited speakers and spend two days shadowing their pair, to be held from 24 to 28 November 2019. Scientists across all science, technology, engineering, medicine and mathematics disciplines working in academia or industry are eligible to apply. They must have at least two years鈥� postdoctoral research experience or equivalent research experience in industry. Applicants should also be able to demonstrate good communication skills and an ability to communicate their research to a lay audience. The scheme includes 30 research scientists in each round |
