Policy@RMIT
Policy@RMIT (P@R) aims to understand and enable researchers and policy practitioners to work collectively to support evidence-informed decision-making relating to major policy and societal issues.
It provides an opportunity for policy practitioners and researchers to step out the busyness of their day-to-day work to examine such issues, and identify shared interests and ways of working in partnership to help address them.

Structure
P@R works to achieve this through three main elements:
- An overarching study identifying ‘best practice’ institutional structures and processes to support research contributions to public policy;
- Co-producing a suite of policy-relevant research with DELWP; and
- Capacity building activities for both RMIT researchers and DELWP staff
