The initiative will provide €325 (£283) a week to 2,000 eligible artists based in the Republic of Ireland. This follows a pilot (for which 2,000 artists were randomly selected from 8,000 applicants).
‘The scheme recouped more than its net cost of €72m’

One foot in government, one foot in academia.
@drkeriwong.bsky.social reflects on the value of social trust in closing the academia-government gap – it's about "stepping back to listen first".

Three years ago, the British Academy published a report Reframing Childhood. It was the outcome of a wide-ranging programme chaired by my noble friend Lady Lister. Three themes emerged, each of relevance to this Bill. The first was "being and becoming"; this drew attention to the importance of childhood as a state of being of great significance to the child. The final theme was "children's voices and participation", and the second was "children's rights" as articulated in the UN convention. This is missing from the Bill.
Baroness Blower references our report on Reframing Childhood in the Lords debate on the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

I was delighted to speak at the @cabinetofficeuk.bsky.social -HMT #EvaluationTaskForce’s Government Evaluation Conference 2025 today!
Hosted 400+ x-govt colleagues @ucl.ac.uk @ioe.bsky.social. Excited for☝️ academic-govt collabs from now on!
Thx @uclpublicpolicy.bsky.social #SaferStreetsMission
We #coproduce research, practice & interventions with lived experience experts.
Yet scientists don't #coproduce #policy priorities with policy/govt colleagues when writing our pubs (except in co-written reports)?
Can scientists check how policy-relevant their research may be? 🤔
