Our impact
Project impacts
The Sciencewise programme will only support dialogue projects in areas where there is a clear commitment to the project findings informing policy development. Once a project is concluded, the Sciencewise programme team continues to track the policy impacts of a dialogue. The links below take you to short case studies that summarise the impacts of some recent projects.
