The King’s College London-Ipsos partnership brings together leading researchers and public policy experts to help make sense of societal challenges in the UK and internationally.
The partnership was established on the basis of both organisations’ shared values and objectives, which are aimed at ensuring research evidence informs policy and practice.
By collaborating together, we are able to combine resources, skills and expertise in order to produce more impactful research across a wider range of fields.
The partnership is managed by staff from the Policy Institute at King’s College London and Ipsos Social Research Institute. Find out more about each organisation, as well as the key people involved in the partnership, below.
The Policy Institute at King’s College London
The Policy Institute at King’s College London works to solve society’s challenges with evidence and expertise.
We combine the rigour of academia with the agility of a consultancy and the connectedness of a think tank.
Our research draws on many disciplines and methods, making use of the skills, expertise and resources of not only the institute, but the university and its wider network too.
Ipsos Social Research Institute
We are methodological and public policy experts based in London, Edinburgh, Belfast and Manchester.
We design, develop and carry out customised research for clients in the government and public sector to help them make better, evidence-based decisions. Our expert teams in individual countries have the in-depth sector knowledge to assist decision-makers across the full range of public policy issues.
