ESRC Genomics Policy and Research Forum
Established in August 2004, the ESRC Genomics Policy and Research Forum is a novel initiative in the field of social science research.
As part of the ESRC Genomics Network (EGN), the Forum acts to integrate the diverse strands of social science research within and beyond the EGN; to develop links between social scientists and scientists working across the entire range of genomic science and technology; and to connect research in this area to policy makers, business, the media and civil society in the UK and abroad.
This is a novel and challenging role, but one which presents huge opportunities. Under the Directorship of Professor Steve Yearley and the Deputy Directorship of Dr Steve Sturdy, the Forum is widening the reception of social science research beyond existing audiences, and building capacity amongst social scientists for public and policy engagement.
