Leeds Policy Institute

We are a UK-based student-led Think Tank affiliated with Leeds University Union (a registered UK charity), dedicated to undertaking empirically driven and non-partisan policy research that centres on both local and national issues. Our 6 Policy Areas are: • Macro Policy • Energy and Environment • Urban Planning and Transport • Social Policy • Market Interventions • Financial Regulation Established in April 2023, the Leeds Policy Institute (LPI) endeavours to facilitate the engagement of young individuals in ongoing policy dialogues, thereby amplifying the voices of the underrepresented Northern communities. Through initiatives encompassing funding for informative speaker engagements, publication of student-authored articles in influential newspapers, and collaborative delivery of skill-enhancing workshops in conjunction with the university, LPI seeks to empower its student members and contribute to the betterment of society.
