The Royal Society (Pairing Scheme) – Week in Westminster

Sunday 17 March 2024 - Thursday 21 March 2024

Location: Westminster, London

The Royal Society pairing scheme gives policymakers and research scientists an opportunity to experience each other’s worlds. Each year 30 research scientists are paired with UK parliamentarians and civil servants. They learn about each other’s work by spending time together in Westminster and the researcher’s institutions. Those taking part gain an insight into how research findings can help inform policy making, and come away with a better understanding of how they can get involved.

We’re delighted to announce that this year, our Modelling Scientist Deep S. Banerjee will be paired with Luke Pollard MP. We will be sharing updates – please keep an eye on our social media pages!
