WG Skills, Higher Education and Lifelong Learning (SHELL) fellowship
Lead Research Organisation:
University of Edinburgh
Department Name: Sch of Social and Political Science
Abstract
Each fellowship will last up to 18 months to cover a three-month inception phase for set up activity, followed by a 6-12-month placement with the host organisation, and concluding with an impact phase lasting up to three months.
Fellows will co-design projects and activities with their host and produce analysis to inform government decision-making across a range of policy priorities. Fellows will also engage across the host organisation, building effective working relationships and supporting wider knowledge exchange with researchers. This will be supported through their embedded role within the host organisation, including line management support.

Description | Disclaimer - the work is ongoing and I have not started any focused KE and dissemination activities, but I have presented findings internally and also to one stakeholder group (University Ready) composed of representatives from Universities in Wales. An integrated impact assessment (IIA) led by myself has been made publicly available on the Welsh Government website (translated also into Welsh). The main impact so far has been that findings from a survey that I included in the IIA motivated the creation of new content on the University Ready website. |
