APPI Policy Futures works at the interface of policy, evidence and practice to drive new opportunities for capability-building and capacity uplift for established and emerging policy experts. These practitioner-centred programs aim to enhance skills and knowledge exchange around best practice in contemporary policymaking.

Establishing Policy Futures is an important next step in meeting the Institute’s ambitious vision to transform public policy in Australia. Responding to the needs of government and university partners, this new program presents a compelling opportunity for us to build the targeted policy capacity and capabilities that can deliver real benefits for society at large.
