Are you a civil or public servant looking for support in tackling a complex challenge?
The Royal Academy of Engineering provides progressive leadership for engineering and technology, and independent expert advice to government in the UK and beyond.
We offer two programmes that support civil and public servants in implementing better evidence-based policy. Both offer access to engineering expertise and guidance on applying systems thinking in policy.
Systems Approaches in Government Programme
Supporting policymakers to navigate complex challenges by applying systems approaches underpinned by engineering expertise.
Policy Fellowships Programme
