We will be launching our latest edition of Understanding Society Insights, featuring new research using our UK Household Panel Study, at a policy discussion event at the Coin Street Community Centre in London on 28th January (10am-2pm).
This is an interactive policy event, bringing different insights together, and promoting a cross-sectoral conversation on a challenging area of policy. It will bring together people from local authorities, arts and cultural organisations, educationalists, civic organisations, refugee support groups, religious organisations, government departments, think tanks and academia.
The event is free to attend, but you need to register in advance.
Launch of Insights 2020
The event will see the launch of the Understanding Society Insights 2020 report. This annual publication highlights policy-relevant findings from longitudinal research that uses Understanding Society’s rich data and provides commentary from leading policy thinkers and practitioners. This year the publication profiles longitudinal evidence covering three themes: social integration; geographical mobility; and the labour market and health.
