Think tanks are research organisations that develop ideas on a whole range of subjects affecting society. They make suggestions for action, using research, analysis and commentary to inform and influence politicians, policy makers and the public.

Given the recent economic, social and political issues facing the UK, encouraging more diversity in the world of research and policy-making is more important than ever. To contribute to this, a group of think tanks and similar organisations have joined together to hold a webinar for undergraduates about working in the think tank sector.

This event is aimed at:

People from Black, Asian and other minority ethnic groups
People with work-limiting conditions or impairments
Young adults with caring responsibilities (including young parents)
Mature students
People from lower-income backgrounds
Care leavers

You’ll also have a chance hear from people from all the organisations taking part in the event, such as:

Centre for Progressive Policy
Institute for Employment Studies
Institute for Fiscal Studies
Institute for Government
Involve
IPPR
Joseph Rowntree Foundation
Living Wage Foundation
National Institute of Economic and Social Research
