The objective was to gain insight into the varied needs of its audience, enhancing their overall experience – ultimately to both attract new users and maintain current subscriptions.

Higher Technical Qualifications literature review and interviews
The Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) commissioned Shift to explore the landscape of higher technical and applied qualifications in Chemistry and related subjects in England and Scotland, with a view to shaping the direction of future policy work in this area of education. This research aimed to gather evidence about the needs and challenges faced by the sector and to provide the RSC with useful insight to advocate for the development of technical skills for the chemical sciences.

Stakeholder engagement
On October 12th 2017, the Privy Council considered APM’s application for a Royal Charter and issued an Order of Grant. This decision triggered a number of procedural steps, including the activation of a new chartered organisation and creation of a register of Chartered Project Professionals. As part of this process, APM as a Chartered organisation was required to conduct an open and public consultation on aspects of the proposed Chartered designation to launch the register, including criteria for admission to the register.
