Since 2009, the University of Cambridge's Centre for Science and Policy (CSaP) has pioneered new ways of bringing together public policy professionals and academics to learn from each other, building relationships based on mutual understanding, respect and trust. The experience and diversity of this unique network provides fresh perspectives and critical challenges to conventional thinking, and helps research from all disciplines contribute more effectively to society.

Our research for CSaP comprised a series of interviews, with pairs of Policy Fellows and academics, geared towards identifying examples of impact resulting directly from the Policy Fellows programme.
