Policy Collaborations
PPS works with local and national authorities on different policy issues. This space details some of our policy partnerships and collaborations.
Public Policy|Southampton (PPS) works with national, local and international policymakers to ensure that the research conducted here at Southampton supports an evidence-informed policymaking process. In particular, we work with the UK Government departments to respond to their evidence needs through the Departmental Areas of Research Interest; bring civil servants to campus, including via Cambridge Centre for Science and Policy (CSaP); organise placements/secondments of University staff and PhD students into Government; and support with consultation submissions.
Placements and Secondments
PPS works across all faculties of the University of Southampton supporting researchers in making connections with policymakers in their field of research.
