Dear all,

We are delighted to invite you to register for our upcoming monthly networking event, Tea Time with AuthorAID, centered on the theme "Making Research Relevant to Policy."

Tea Time with AuthorAID is a monthly community event where scholars from around the world gather with their favorite variety of tea or drink, engage in informal conversations, expand their networks, and explore collaboration opportunities. Unlike a typical webinar, this event thrives on immersive and informal discussions among participants and the host. In this session, we will engage in an interactive dialogue on how to make research relevant to policy and why it matters.

Our host for this event is Abiodun Egbetokun, a Senior Lecturer at De Montfort University, UK, with two decades of experience in policy-relevant research. Previously, he served as Deputy Director of Research at Nigeria’s National Centre for Technology Management, leading impactful projects such as Nigeria’s first social science research mapping and the evaluation of major entrepreneurship education and youth employment interventions. Abiodun has also held the position of President of the Nigerian Young Academy and was a Science Advice Policy Fellow of the US National Science Foundation. He frequently collaborates with international and third-sector organizations including UNIDO, GIZ, i4Policy, and the African Union Commission. Additionally, he mentors early-career researchers through AuthorAID and the Development Studies Association.

Date: June 14, 2024  
Time:12:00 PM to 1:00 PM GMT  
Registration link: https://forms.gle/DG6ZKWHFZEaCAX166
