Public Policy
Enabling non-partisan organisations to provide evidence-based research and advice to policymakers
Our mission is to support policy research in the UK that brings about positive tangible change for society, and leads to improved economic performance.

Our motivation
The organisations and institutions that we support aim to conduct quality research and assemble robust evidence bases, with a particular focus of looking beyond the UK to gather lessons from alternative models.
All are driven by the need to build a consensus. Their success is not based on media coverage or plaudits, but on the basis of their recommendations being implemented and resulting in better performance.
Supporting policy research
Providing insights that support policy making in science, technology, innovation, and manufacturing
Improving economic performance
Translating new science and engineering ideas into technologies, industries, and economic wealth
Enabling practical results
Disseminating the research and turning the insights into practical recommendations
The Institute for Government is based on the firm belief that pragmatic, non-partisan institutions can make a real and positive contribution to improving the quality of policy-making in various different areas.
