The Institute's mission is to support the exchange of knowledge and ideas to enrich policy making, inspire people, support communities, transform lives and shape a better future.
The Institute connects Nottingham's world-leading researchers with the public and policymakers to share insight and solve problems. We work with academic experts from across the university who want to create real impact by providing training, advice and expertise.
Through these partnerships we will tackle together the most compelling challenges locally, nationally and globally.

Over the past six weeks, we have been honoured to spotlight the incredible nominees of the 2025 Policy Impact and Public Engagement Awards. These awards celebrate the exceptional efforts of University of Nottingham staff and academics who are making real-world impact, whether by shaping public policy, engaging communities, or opening up research to the public in accessible, inspiring ways.
The different initiatives we have spotlighted in the past weeks have once again demonstrated the extraordinary breadth and quality of work taking place across the University of Nottingham. From shaping policy at different levels to engaging the public in fun and creative ways, and co-creating sustainable solutions with local communities, every initiative reflects a deep commitment to civic engagement, evidence-based solutions, and inclusive impact across all levels.
