The interactive masterclass focused on practical strategies for communicating research with clarity and relevance. Participants learned how to craft compelling policy briefs, frame evidence within current policy contexts, and develop productive relationships with policy makers. The session also offered space for reflection on how to amplify research impact through engagement with commissioning, guidelines, and funding decisions.
