We are dedicated to informing and enhancing public life by using Brunel research to solve problems and help decision-makers arrive at better solutions. We seek to do this in many different ways: We actively demonstrate the policy-relevance of our world-leading research. Our policy briefings help public bodies see how our research can enhance the work they do, whether that’s related to public health, procurement, election regulation or a myriad of other areas. We offer policy support, showing how our research can help public bodies with sophisticated techniques and methods, evaluative tools and so on. We engage with inquiries from public and third sector bodies who are seeking policy advice or support in particular areas, and who wish to draw on our extensive expertise. As a civic University, we are dedicated to supporting our local communities. We help do this by running events from which the whole community can benefit.
