Think tanks are research organisations that develop ideas on a whole range of subjects affecting society. They make suggestions for action, using research, analysis and commentary to inform and influence politicians, policy makers and the public.
Given the recent economic, social and political issues facing the UK, encouraging more diversity in the world of research and policy-making is more important than ever. To contribute to this, a group of think tanks and similar organisations have joined together to hold a webinar for undergraduates about working in the think tank sector.
This event is aimed at:
- People from Black, Asian and other minority ethnic groups
- People with work-limiting conditions or impairments
- Young adults with caring responsibilities (including young parents)
- Mature students
- People from lower-income backgrounds
- Care leavers
You’ll also have a chance hear from people from all the organisations taking part in the event, such as:
- Centre for Progressive Policy
- Institute for Employment Studies
- Institute for Fiscal Studies
- Institute for Government
- Involve
- IPPR
- Joseph Rowntree Foundation
