RTPI Northern Ireland Policy and Research Forum
Support RTPI NI in developing and promoting planning policy, practice and research in Northern Ireland by applying to join the next RTPI NI Policy and Research Forum.
It is a busy and interesting time for planning in Northern Ireland. The planning system has a vital role to play in the future development of the places in which we live, work and enjoy our leisure time. Planners and the planning system in Northern Ireland are well placed to guide and encourage a positive, collaborative, and integrated approach to development, with positive outcomes for health and wellbeing, resilience and climate action in Northern Ireland. There has never been a better time to get involved with your professional body.
RTPI NI's Policy and Research Forum plays a key role in the work of the RTPI in Northern Ireland, including:
- Supporting the development of RTPI NI policy positions relating to planning and other built environment issues, including advising on consultation responses,
- Feeding into the RTPI Research Strategy, and supporting the commission of research focused on Northern Ireland,
- Promoting the use of research, evidence and the good practice of planning across Northern Ireland.
Being a member of the Policy and Research Forum provides the opportunity to:
- Develop and share individual viewpoints,
- Form professional friendships,
- Contribute to your own Continuing Professional Development (CPD).
Forum members are required to join around four meetings per year, which will be hybrid (online and in-person for each meeting).
Applications are now closed.
