POSTBrief – Topics of Interest 2018

Standard

POST has published a list, setting out the topic areas identified of possible parliamentary interest under the 9 different category headings (Agriculture, Fisheries, Food and Forestry, Crime, Defence, Education and Skills, Energy, Environment, Health, ICT and Robotics and Transport and Infrastructure).

Where relevant this list will inform the deliberations of the POST Board on POST’s future work programme until it is updated or replaced by future horizon scanning activities. This list of issues was initially identified from academic papers and grey literature as having an impact on public policy, and then peer reviewed to focus on those topic areas of most interest, and then narrowed to those considered to be the highest priority through a workshop with parliamentary staff.

ParliOUT Social

Standard

To commemorate the beginning of the year following all the indulgent Christmas celebrations, ParliOUT will be hosting an evening social.

Thursday 18 Jan 2018, 17:30 – 19:00

Costa Coffee | The Grand Building, Trafalgar Square, London WC2N 5EJ

Contact: Nerys Davies, nerys.davies@cslearning.gov.uk

Please RSVP to parliout@parliament.uk  to let us know if you’d like to attend so we can expect you.

We understand that the idea of coming to an event without knowing anyone can be quite a daunting experience. A pre-meet will happen between 5pm – 5.30pm at Westminster station (between St. Stephen’s Tavern and Tesco Express) for people that would like to meet before the event.

Committee member Nerys Davies will be facilitating this. To contact Nerys regarding the pre-meet, email: nerys.davies@cslearning.gov.uk
