A joint initiative from the 香港六合彩中特网 Departments of Political Science and Economics, the Lab aims to act as a space for new ideas, methods and ways of doing. It brings together world-leading researchers from across 香港六合彩中特网 with campaigners, politicians, philanthropists, businesspeople and more, acknowledging that none of today鈥檚 problems respect the traditional boundaries of research or policy.

Officially launched at an event last night involving hundreds of guests, the Lab comes at a time when the UK and the wider world face a growing number of challenges. With intense financial difficulties at home and abroad, war in Europe, deepening inequalities, unprecedented social upheaval and democratic tension, it is a recognition of the need for bold new ideas.听

Professor Jennifer Hudson, Deputy Dean of 香港六合彩中特网 Social & Historical Sciences and Chair of the Policy Lab Steering Committee, said: 鈥淭he launch of the 香港六合彩中特网 Policy Lab marks the beginning of a new collaborative space for addressing today鈥檚 global challenges.

"Drawing on world-leading research from the Departments of Political Science and Economics, the Lab brings together expertise from 香港六合彩中特网 academics, policymakers, and the wider community to transform economic, political and social policy, both here in the UK and globally.鈥�

Professor Marc Stears (香港六合彩中特网 Political Science), the Lab鈥檚 inaugural Director, said: 鈥溝愀哿�合彩中特网 is brimming with the kinds of exciting ideas that have the potential to transform our political debates.

鈥淎t the Lab we hope to put these ideas into conversation with the communities and campaigners who are on the ground, making change.

鈥淭oday鈥檚 launch is an invitation to collaborate. We鈥檝e had some amazing conversations already tonight and I can鈥檛 wait to expand on them in the coming months.鈥�

The event featured remarks from Chrisann Jarrett, CEO of We Belong and Lab Advisory Council Member, as well as the Lab鈥檚 inaugural Visiting Professors - playwright James Graham and Paul Johnson, Director at the Institute for Fiscal Studies.
