Description
We are seeking support to help advise and deliver a high-level public affairs and communications campaign over a 12-month period from March 2020 to March to 2021. The aims of this campaign are to upscale and improve the ways in which the University communicates effectively with policymakers, improve existing and develop new dialogues with policymakers, and more widely demonstrate how research at the University shapes evidence-based policymaking.
Policy engagement is a key priority for Newcastle University; raising its profile amongst parliamentarians, think-tanks and opinion formers in order to position both the institution and our academics as leaders in impactful research which informs policy.
This public affairs campaign will also help track policy and legislative announcements to help position Newcastle University at the heart of the debate. You will also make recommendations as to how to keep MPs and Peers informed about the work of the University.
In addition, you will be expected to make proposals for the University's attendance at key political events and how we make the most of these to showcase our research and inform policy on key issues.
You will also identify opportunities within, but not limited to, Westminster to raise awareness of our key research projects and provide support with briefing materials, event logistics and media relations.
