Partnerships
International Public Policy Observatory
The Centre for Public Policy is the home of the International Public Policy Observatory at the University of Glasgow.
The International Public Policy Observatory (IPPO) aims to mobilise and assess evidence from across the four nations of the United Kingdom, and beyond, to inform policymakers about the best ways to address social harms.
Its overall ambition is to contribute to better policymaking and thereby to the wellbeing of all UK citizens.
The primary audience for IPPO's work is national governments, umbrella bodies such as the Local Government Association, and combined and local authorities. But it also works closely with the UK’s network of thought leaders in these fields, from third-sector bodies and think-tanks, to academic institutions, to amplify its impact.
Economics Observatory
The Economics Observatory (ECO) is a new project that bridges the gap between academic research, government policy and the general public. Their goal is to provide balanced and reliable answers to questions about the economy. Their mission is to make these answers as accessible and engaging as possible. The ECO team are drawn from across the countries and regions of the UK, with a hub in Bristol. By publishing daily articles, videos and charts, we believe ECO can help the public and policymakers better understand the numerous challenges facing countries around the world today.
Centre for Sustainable Solutions
The Centre for Sustainable Solutions vision is to enable individuals, communities and organisations to act towards a sustainable future through education, research and partnership. They support interdisciplinary, cross-campus and cross-sectoral solutions to climate change.
Go Justice Centre
The mission of the Glasgow Open (GO) Justice centre is to drive social change through legal education and research. They aim to empower communities and individuals to use the law to access justice and achieve social and economic inclusion.
They do this by raising awareness of social justice issues, identifying and addressing unmet legal needs while instilling core ethical values in their students. Some of their projects include volunteer placements at the Citizens advice Bureau (CAB), The Emma Ritch Law Clinic, reporting for The Justice Gap, the Environmental Law Clinic, the National Pro Bono Student Council, the GO Justice Book Club, Into University and The Marie Trust… to name a few.
Glasgow Changing Futures
Glasgow Changing Futures (GCF) is the University's commitment to integrating research, innovation, education, partnerships and influence to advance solutions to local, national and global societal challenges. Initially thier priority areas for action and focus will be on “Sustainable Futures” and “Healthy and Equitable Futures”.
GCF reflects the aspiration within our community to make a meaningful contribution to a larger cause.
The National Centre for Resilience
The National Centre for Resilience is a research and knowledge exchange hub embedded in cross-sector working. As a partnership between Scottish Universities, Government and Practice, they are committed to improving countrywide resilience to natural hazards. The centre focuses on using quality evidence to inform policy and practice. They promote cross-sector partnerships, encouraging each to learn from the other to improve resilience when planning for, responding to and recovering from natural hazard events. The NCR utilises existing knowledge and commissions new projects to address real-life issues faced by resilience practitioners and communities. Using their networks, they support researchers in adapting project outputs into tailored briefings and tools for end users, helping to maximise the use and impact of this work by sharing research outputs with wider resilience audiences.’
