<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The UKRI Policy Internships Scheme for 2024/25 is now open and the closing date for applications is

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The scheme provides the opportunity for doctoral students funded by the Research Councils of UKRI to undertake a three-month placement at one of a selected group of highly influential
policy organisations. During their internship, the student undertakes training and experience on a policy topic agreed with their host partner that is relevant to both parties. The intention of the scheme is to embed students in an environment where they can
engage with the process of converting research outputs into policy. These internships equip students with transferable skills and training relevant to the future career paths that the student may choose.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
