University researchers and colleagues in Professional Services are invited to become members of Public Policy|Southampton.
Public Policy|Southampton acts as a hub for public policy engagement across the University. It supports university researchers in delivering public policy impact through grant funded research, and provides strategic engagement with key policy partners at a local, regional, national and international level.
