About the Institute for Policy Research blog

The IPR blog is a run by the University of Bath Institute for Policy Research (IPR) for researchers, academics and policy experts to blog on a range of topical policy relevant issues. It offers expert analysis, debate and comment on recent developments across UK government, policy and academia.

We publish posts which reflect the expertise in research at the University of Bath, and mirror the current priorities of external policy stakeholders and research funders.

We welcome and encourage high quality, research-based contributions for this blog. Find out more about our editorial guidelines and how to become a contributor to the IPR blog.
