Training

In addition to research and engagement activities, CPF works to expand UQ’s expertise and research capacity in policy studies to encourage a pipeline of students at the University with the skills and 'know-how' to translate research into policy. As such CPF contributes to undergraduate and postgraduate coursework program design to ensure public policy is prominent in curricula.

CPF offers a range of opportunities for UQ’s Early Career Researchers and Higher Degree Research students to maximise the relevance of their research and encourage a culture of ‘policy entrepreneurs’. For example, internships with the Centre and government departments will be offered, as well as an annual retreat on research impact, and mentoring opportunities with CPF research staff and affiliates.
