Do you want to learn more about ways to do science communication and mobilise your expertise to promote societal change? The ÅAU Minority Research Profile is organising a hybrid training on how to write policy briefs, as well as reports on state policies in the area of human rights implementation. The training is provided by:

Christopher Mbazira, Professor of Law and Coordinator of the Public Interest Law Clinic (PILAC) at Makerere University School of Law, Uganda, and a founding member of the Network of Public Interest Lawyers (NETPIL). Professor Mbazira will share his expertise on writing policy briefs.

Researchers Kristiina Vainio and Katarina Frostell, from the ÅAU Institute of Human Rights and working with the multidisciplinary research network of the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRANET), will share insights about conducting analysis of state policies and human rights reporting.

The training is aimed at ÅAU doctoral students and new postdoctoral scholars (1-4 years from graduation) who are involved in research related to minorities broadly understood.
