Please join us for our first Engineering in Policy Network (EPN) event on systems thinking, on Wednesday 26th May, 12:00 - 12:30. This will be a panel discussion with speakers from the Civil Service, the Royal Academy of Engineering and UCL followed by an audience-led Q&A. The panel will reflect on what it means to work at the intersection of engineering and policy and how thinking in systems is important and impactful in this space. We will explore how systems approaches relate to engineering in policy, before looking at what the panellists and their respective organisations are doing in this space to conclude.
