Following the success of our previous Policy Commissions Competitions, Public Policy@Southampton is delighted to announce the launch of our Electoral Commissions Competition. With the upcoming General Election, a significant juncture on the Policy landscape, we are inviting applications for research on issues that will be pivotally placed on all parties’ agendas.
Successful applications will bring together the expertise and experience of world-leading academics and key policy-makers and be ready for presentation during the first half of semester two. Broad areas for consideration are:
- The economy
- Healthcare
- Education
- Immigration
- Crime
This list is not exhaustive, if your research is demonstrably relevant, we’d love to hear from you.
We will provide the resources to set up the project, run meetings and co-ordinate a comprehensive marketing campaign to ensure findings are widely disseminated with maximum impact. Applicants may request funding to support associated research costs.
If you would like further information, or to discuss the details of your application, please contact the Public Policy@Southampton Co-ordinator: Erin Downey.
Telephone: +44 (0)23 8059 5466. To submit a research proposal, please download the guidance notes and complete an application form. Please note the closing date: 5.00pm Monday 29 September 2014.
Applications will be assessed by a sub-committee of the Public Policy@Southampton advisory committee.
