Election 24 Hub
Social science perspectives will be vital in informing policy debates ahead of a likely UK General Election next year. This hub foregrounds the social sciences in informing policies across the political spectrum and showcases research evidence relevant to public policy.
Drawing on the expertise of distinguished social scientists, many of whom are Fellows of the Academy, the Election 24 project aims to identify positive and constructive policy suggestions on many key policy areas including the cost-of-living crisis; climate change and living standards; health and social care; immigration; and higher education, amongst others.
