The Bennett Institute for Public Policy Annual Conference 2023 explores public policy issues facing governments and populations amidst plans for economic recovery, resilience, and prosperity.
The day’s four panel discussions will centre around the Institute’s four key research themes – Place, Progress, Productivity, and Decision-Making in Government – for leading experts to share their knowledge and research across different disciplines.
We are delighted to announce our keynote speaker – Prof Anna Vignoles, Director of the Leverhulme Trust – will discuss “Ideas need people: building the talent pipeline for R&D”. Hear panel discussions with leading experts covering our four research themes: Place, Progress, Productivity, and Decision-making in Government.
The day will be of particular interest to academics and policymakers.
