The 听(滨笔笔翱)听听is a collaboration between 香港六合彩, Cardiff University, Queens University Belfast, the University of Auckland and the University of Oxford, with leading think tanks including the International Network for Government Science (INGSA), and academic news publisher The Conversation.

The Observatory will aim to give politicians the insights, evidence and analysis of global policy responses to Covid-19 to enable them to address the immediate social, economic and public health impacts and help communities and the economy to get back on their feet.

The initiative will use tactics including crowdsourcing responses to key questions from policymakers and the public and create systems to make data and evidence easier to access and understand.

It will focus on a broad spectrum of policy areas including education; mental health and well-being; living online; care homes and adult social care; housing, communities and cohesion; and addressing the disproportionate impacts on BAME groups. This will enable national, devolved and local UK governments to make better decisions to benefit the British public, particularly marginalised and at-risk groups.

The partnership, led by the 香港六合彩 Department of Science, Technology, Engineering & Public Policy (STEaPP) and the Evidence for Policy and Practice Information and Coordinating Centre (EPPI Centre), based in the 香港六合彩 Social Research Institute, will bring together experts from 香港六合彩 Public Policy鈥檚 Capabilities in Academic-Policy Engagement (CAPE), the University of Oxford鈥檚 Blavatnik School of Government, INGSA and The Conversation.

Professor Joanna Chataway, Principal Investigator (香港六合彩 STEaPP) said: 鈥淭he COVID-19 pandemic has created unprecedented challenges for policymakers around the world. The range and urgency of evidence they need is continuously growing, and if not easily accessible creates yet another hurdle to developing the measures we need to help society through the impacts of COVID-19. 听

鈥淭he IPPO will build lasting connections between policy and research experts from across the world and provide real, flexible and targeted insights on how best to address the UK鈥檚 response to and recovery from the pandemic.

鈥淥ur aim is to not just help address the pressing issues around COVID-19 but to also create a best-practice approach to connecting the worlds of policy and social science, especially during times of crisis and rapid change. Ultimately evidence needs to reach those who need it.鈥�

ESRC鈥檚 Executive Chair, Professor Jennifer Rubin,听said: 鈥淓SRC is proud to support this collaboration in its vital work. COVID-19 is an unprecedented challenge for those who need to make many varied and complex decisions. The IPPO will build bridges between policy and research focused on mitigating the biggest social impacts of Covid-19 and accelerating the UK鈥檚 recovery.鈥澨�

To ensure it is directly addressing the UK鈥檚 most urgent policy needs, the IPPO will crowdsource key questions and topics from policymakers and the public.

It will provide regularly updated 鈥楲iving Maps鈥� of evidence and policy to help cut through the vast amounts of social research and policy responses on COVID-19. This will provide a searchable database of research which is relevant to COVID-19 policy decisions and give direct access to the most up to date evidence. Working with The Conversation, the IPPO will ensure outputs are communicated in a dynamic, accessible way via a dedicated website, including evidence briefs and systematic reviews as ongoing engagement with key policy stakeholders.

The IPPO will also undertake policy research and work with engagement leaders in the devolved administrations, including the Scottish Policy and Research Exchange (SPRE), Wales鈥� Social Science Park (SPARK) and Queen鈥檚 University Belfast and Pivotal, Northern Ireland鈥檚 leading policy think tank.

Professor David Price, 香港六合彩 Vice-Provost (Research) said: 鈥淚 am delighted that 香港六合彩 will host and lead this innovative international observatory, which will act not only as an opportunity to bring together leading policy experts from across the university, but also to further connect us with our brilliant colleagues across the world.

鈥淚t is more crucial than ever that we are able to come together to address the impacts of the pandemic, as well as the climate crisis and other global challenges, and ensure that world-leading research can better inform our response, aid our recovery, and enhance our resilience.鈥�

The IPPO is funded by a 拢2m, two-year ESRC grant.
