Imperial College Podcast

In this bonus edition of the Imperial College Podcast we invite you to take a front row seat at a special Q&A with the UK government’s Chief Scientific Adviser. Sir Patrick Vallance came to Imperial this month to launch The Forum - Imperial’s new policy engagement programme. In a candid Q&A with an audience of staff, students, senior policy figures and members of the media, Patrick spoke about the importance of collaboration between academia and policy-makers. Facilitated by Professor Mary Ryan, Imperial’s vice-dean of research in the Faculty of Engineering, the Q&A tackled questions on how to influence government, plus the impact of Brexit and the next Prime Minister on science and research.
