Policy@RMIT
Policy@RMIT (P@R) aims to study and enable collaborations between researchers and policy practitioners in co-producing research that supports evidence-informed policy in addressing major policy and societal issues.
P@R is working to achieve its aims through four main work packages:
- an overarching research program exploring key questions about the policy ‘impact’ agenda, including: what is policy impact; how might we evidence it; and what kinds of institutional structures might best help with impact efforts?
- capability building activities for RMIT researchers with R&I’s Research Impact team;
- a partnership with the Victorian Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP); and
- Publications, Discussion Papers, and Policy Briefs

Capability building opportunities
P@R is also developing a range of ‘capability building’ activities regarding research impact in public policy. Development of this program will be informed by both the literature and insights gained through the P@R DELWP-RMIT Research Collaboration. The capacity building program will occur in partnership with RMIT’s Research and Innovation Portfolio’s Research Translation team and the Urban Futures ECP.
For example, the Policy Brief development process could help bring networks together, enable production of a truly multi-disciplinary brief of RMIT’s research in key areas related to DELWP policy responsibilities, and provide a source of knowledge and connection for relevant DELWP policy arenas.
