CUSPE's Annual Policy Review at the Royal Society

The Cambridge University Science Policy Exchange (CUSPE) will be holding its annual policy review at the Royal Society on 10 June.

Each year, CUSPE's Annual Policy Review examines the complexities, and potential barriers to evidence-based policy making. This year, it will use suggested minimum alcohol pricing policy as a springboard to explore these issues, discussing factors such as the availability and uncertainty of evidence.

• Professor Theresa Marteau, Director of the Behaviour and Health Research Unit at the University of Cambridge.
