The Centre for Science and Policy helps the sciences and technology to serve society by promoting engagement between researchers and policy professionals.

Specifically, it:

• provide policy professionals with access to the best academic thinking in engineering, science, computing, mathematics, the social sciences, law and philosophy
• provide an arena in which those interested in the policy implications of the sciences and technology, and the relationship between research expertise and public policy, can discuss and develop fresh ideas
• provide training, support and opportunities for researchers to engage with policy makers.
