The Wales Centre for Public Policy is a sector-leading knowledge brokering organisation (KBO). Knowledge brokering organisations – or evidence intermediary organisations – act as a link between academic research and policy makers. WCPP operates on a place-based level to help improve how evidence is used by local and national policy makers and practitioners across Wales.
A unique element of WCPP as a knowledge brokering organisation is that we have a dedicated research and impact programme, which ensures we continuously reflect on and learn from our approach to knowledge mobilisation – what we do, why and to what effect - and share this learning with others.
Our research programme is focussed on comparative differences in the role of knowledge brokering organisations (why they are created and what they do), the methods and approaches of knowledge mobilisation, and how to define, capture and demonstrate the impact of knowledge brokerage/mobilisation to ensure this activity contributes to better policy and social outcomes.
If you are a policy maker, practitioner or academic in search of evidence on the role, practice and impact of knowledge brokers and knowledge mobilisation, please email us via info@wcpp.org.uk.
