Funded by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, the aim of the Fellowships is to support local and national policymakers in tackling policy issues such as levelling up challenges, driving sustainable and inclusive economic growth, and reducing regional disparities in the UK.
The one-year Fellowship will allow the award holders to partner with the Local Policy Innovation Partnership (LPIP) Strategic Coordination Hub, based at the City-Region Economic Development Institute (City-REDI) at the University of Birmingham. The LPIP Hub is funded by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) as part of the Creating Opportunities, Improving Outcomes theme.
