Evidence and submissions
As an academic research centre, CURDS seeks to play a leading role in agenda setting and ongoing engagement. This is done by synthesising theoretically-informed and empirically-grounded research into clear messages for policy-makers and practitioners.
Contributing to enquiries and calls for evidence is one of the methods used by researchers at CURDS. This impacts on policy developments and contemporary debates.
