This learning lab aims to equip participants with essential knowledge, skills, and best practices for scholars and practitioners in higher education institutions (HEIs) to effectively translate evidence based research into actionable policy papers. This initiative is based on the understanding that effective policies should be informed by robust and reliable research.

The specific objectives of this workshop are:

• To enrich knowledge and insights into the development of evidence-based research and policy papers (including case studies and success stories).
• To deepen understanding of the evidence-informed policymaking process, best practices, and strategies.
• To enhance skills in adapting evidence-based research findings to relevant policy narratives (policy papers)

By the end of the workshop, participants will not only possess the knowledge and skills necessary to translate research findings into policy papers that are clear, concise, and actionable for policymakers but also be inspired to enhance the practice of evidence-informed decision-making.
