IPPR North
IPPR North is the leading think tank based in the north of England.
We are researchers, communicators, and policy experts who develop bold, progressive ideas to empower England’s regions so that everyone has the opportunity to live a good life and to thrive. Our vision is of people and communities in England’s regions realising their full potential. It is a future in which place-based inequalities no longer exist, and opportunity and prosperity are open to everyone.
For 21 years IPPR North has been conducting independent research and influencing powerholders, driving tangible, positive policy change. We lead the policy sector in regions like the North with high quality research and impact, and we are deeply connected to the issues our communities face. Our expertise is in regional growth, devolution and local power and democracy.
