2019-20 Annual Report Final - Flipbook - Page 19
Policy Futures: A Reform Agenda will
combine the best of the Churchill
Fellows’ ideas with the policy and
governance oversight of the UQ Centre
for Policy Futures, along with insights
from leading policy experts, to provide
targeted policy analysis to reflect the
regulatory, administrative and governance
arrangements of the ideas presented.
The publication will be distributed variously
to Australian federal, state, territory and
local governments, and promoted through
Churchill Trust and UQ channels.
Post publication, Fellows will also be
encouraged and supported to follow up
their article with short, plain-language
articles in outlets such as The Conversation
(where an academic affiliation exists); the
UQ Centre’s Policy Futures think piece
series; or other relevant media outlets.
Engagement with government and
extended networks
Opportunities will be sought for
Churchill Fellows to present at Policy
Labs, Parliamentary Briefings and Future
Conversations jointly convened by the
Churchill Trust and the UQ Centre for Policy
Futures.
Through the Policy Futures: A Reform
Agenda publication and engagement with
Churchill Fellows, policy-makers will be
kept informed on a range of pressing issues
and learn what other countries are doing
to solve these challenges with the aim of
ensuring domestic policy is fit-for-purpose
and able to address the needs of Australia,
both now and in the future.
As the Policy Impact Program develops,
we anticipate the potential for a variety
of industry collaborations and initiatives,
including mentoring, and other
professional and policy development
opportunities.
The first PIP Prospectus was published in
November 2019 along with a nationwide
call to Churchill Fellows. Applications for
the 2020 PIP closed in January, with 55
application received, and the first cohort of
successful PIP Fellows announced on the
Churchill Trust website following a rigorous
selection process by a National Selection
Committee.
