- How to influence policymakers 4 March.

- How to win at policy 18 March. This session delivered by Gareth Giles aims to demystify the process of engaging with public policy actors and highlight support available from Public Policy|Southampton.
- How to write a Policy Brief 1 April. This training delivered by Yaryna Basystyuk looks at what the policymaker audience demands from a policy brief and how you can go about creating it.
- Data Visualisation for Policy 22 April. This session carried out by the Information Lab expert Luke Stoughton covers both theoretical and practical aspects of using data visualisation tools to create meaning from complex data to help policymakers make better informed policy decisions.
- The Policy Masterclass 6 May. This Masterclass delivered by former Secretary of State and Southampton alumnus John Denham is specifically designed for researchers with a public policy impact goal in mind and provides exciting opportunity to work in small groups to learn what works when communicating evidence to senior policymakers.
- Be a policymaker for an hour 20 May. This new interactive session delivered by Thea Kouraki will help researchers build skills and knowledge for policy engagement, in particular by unpacking what is good evidence and how to effectively present and communicate it.
