Fantastic to see the impact of Areas of Research Interest (ARI) being highlighted here. This builds on important groundwork laid by the uk parliament Liaison Committee's call for more diverse evidence submissions, which really helped set this in motion. At the time, Sarah Chaytor and I submitted evidence via UCL Public Policy emphasising the need for more inclusive and varied engagement and we called for ‘Areas of Evidence Interest’ (which I’m pleased now to see as a name didn’t stick!). I’ve long followed ARI developments since but didn’t imagine back then how ARIs could evolve into the impactful tools we see today. It's brilliant to see CAPE and its Policy Fellows driving this forward across Parliament, the Senedd, and beyond. And If you don’t know what ARI’s are this video is a handy explainer!
Areas of Research Interest (ARI) are public expressions from policy organisations of research priorities and evidence needs. Find out how CAPE has supported their use in Parliament, the Senedd, The Scottish Parliament and beyond. Featuring CAPE Policy Fellows Nicola Buckley, Rob D., team member Jenny Hasenfuss, and colleague Hannah Johnson, working across POST, UK Parliament, Senedd, The Scottish Parliament,The North East Combined Authority
