The UKRI Policy Fellowships are designed to improve the exchange of specialist knowledge between academic institutions and policy, facilitating deeper, more enduring connections between researchers and policy makers. These exciting opportunities will allow fellows to undertake cutting edge research and inform decision-making on the most pressing policy problems of our time. The fellowships aim to support career development and enhance fellows understanding of applying research in government contexts. All fellows will become part of a cohort of academic researchers and receive training, mentoring and networking opportunities with like-minded individuals. Fellowship opportunities will be organised around policy priority areas and Government missions, which address national and global challenges. This will include the addition for the 2025 opportunity of Natural Hazards and Resilience policy fellows to help build resilience against natural hazards; extreme natural events or situations that could cause or threaten serious damage to human welfare. Registration for this event will close Tuesday 20 May 2025.
