How is evidence used in the UK Parliament? The Latest Findings

About the event

Legislatures need evidence. Unfortunately, academic evidence makes up a small proportion of the wider gamut of 'evidence' considered by parliamentarians. Following the recent publication of a report on 'The Use of Research in the UK Parliament', Dr Chris Tyler discusses what Parliament could do to improve the way it uses evidence and what academia can do to be more influential.

STEaPP Seminar Series

The STEaPP Seminar Series aims to share knowledge from within UCL STEaPP, and from across and outside UCL that is particularly relevant to UCL STEaPP research and teaching communities. 

We aim to showcase speakers across a variety of fields, and from both academic research and practice. The series is a platform for connecting with key figures in research and practice, stimulating research discussion, developing collaborations, improving education practice and linking education to research.
