Collective projects

The British Academy’s policy team is building up its net zero policy programme to use the SHAPE disciplines to address the question: how well do net zero policies address the challenges facing the economy and society in the UK? In doing so we aim to contribute to policy outcomes that deliver on commitments to net zero in the UK. We are inviting proposals from a research team led by a Principal Investigator (PI) to use a cross-temporal, multi-scalar approach to address three specific challenges.

The British Academy is inviting proposals for policy-focused research projects which will provide evidence and case studies that enable policy lessons and insight to be drawn out in two areas linked to our policy programmes: 'Technology and inequality'; and 'Environmental sustainability and place'. We are seeking case studies that draw from scholarship and evidence from the humanities, social sciences, and the arts (the SHAPE subjects) to highlight clear and practical lessons for policymakers at the central, regional and/or local level in relation to these two policy areas.

Funded by the UK’s Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy.

The programmes aims to identify lessesons learned and lessons to learn from the experience withn G7 countries of preparing for, adapting and responding to COVID-19 for future pandemic preparedness.
