ABOUT US

The UCL Policy Lab was launched in 2022 to bring together the most celebrated policy makers in the country, with leading scholars and those who have direct, lived experiences of issues on the front line.

The Lab works on an exciting range of projects, ranging from collaborations with the Joseph Rowntree Foundation and This Day Foundation on tackling social injustice and inequality to deep dives into the policy implications of specific areas of new social science research, driven by its researcher “theme leads” drawn from the Departments of Economics and Political Science.
