Policy Engagement
The NexSys programme is committed to leveraging its research in support of evidence-based public policy.
Research has an important role in informing policy and delivering societal benefit. A decarbonised energy system is a policy objective for the Irish government and is underpinned by national and EU frameworks. NexSys members contribute to this objective through their research across different sectors including the energy system, offshore wind development, built environment, transport, and water policy.
NexSys disseminates these research findings and evidence bases to policymakers through a number of engagement activities:
NexSys responds to public policy consultations and other stakeholder engagement processes using evidence drawn from the programme's research. Read more on the Policy Submissions page.
NexSys researchers contribute their expertise to Departmental, state agency, and civil society policy working groups. Find out more on the Working Groups page.
