Levelling up: Principles and Practice Levelling Up is a flagship policy of the current UK Government. It is a powerful phrase, but one which is open to interpretation. This event will help improve the public debate in relation to this important policy agenda. Coming shortly after the Chancellor&#x27;s Spending Review and Autumn Budget announcement, this event assembles a group of distinguished social scientists, politicians and practitioners for a timely exploration of the principles and practices that must be foremost if ‘levelling up’ is to be as effective as we would all like it to be. The event will feature short and sharp ten-minute inputs from our distinguished speakers plus time for wider discussion, and it will cover a wide range of key aspects of levelling up.
