The Institute for Policy Research (IPR) is a leading public policy research institute, based at the University of Bath. We aim to advance the public good with innovative research into major policy challenges, and with activities that connect researchers with policymakers and practitioners. Through our teaching, events and publications, we promote public understanding and democratic debate on public policy.
Key research themes include:
- Universal Basic Income (UBI)
- The reform of education, welfare and work
- The interconnected economic, social, environmental and health challenges we face in the UK and globally
- Political economy and the evolution of politics, the changing role of the state, and political ideas and values.
