Convening global researchers and UN professionals at UCL
To bridge the research-policy divide in global governance, UCL hosted researchers from across the globe and UN practitioners for a week long workshop led by Dr Inken von Borzyskowski.
8 March 2023
Synopsis
10 UN professionals and 10 early-career academics from different institutions discussed “The Role of International Cooperation in Tackling Inequalities.” The participants brought a wealth of diverse experiences, joining from five continents with 15 nationalities and 7 different UN offices.
Dr von Borzyskowski’s goal was to understand what information practitioners need and how research can help meet this demand with data and findings. This two-way dialogue would enable co-production of higher quality research and better evidenced policymaking.
She says: “Among our participants promoted and achieved a constructive and meaningful exchange of ideas, experiences, and lessons learned, both from academic research (and research failures) and from best practices.”
