Election 24 Hub
Election 24: ideas for change based on social science evidence was a Campaign for Social Science project which foregrounded social science perspectives, research and evidence relevant to public policy in the run up to a UK General Election in 2024.
Drawing on the expertise of distinguished social scientists, many of whom are Fellows of the Academy, the Election 24 project aimed to identify positive and constructive policy suggestions on many key policy areas including the cost-of-living crisis; climate change and living standards; health and social care; immigration; and higher education, amongst others.
The content associated with the project, including comment pieces and event recordings, can be found below as a record of its activity.
