LPI Awarded "Building for the Future" Grant

Leeds Policy Institute Awarded ‘Building for the Future’ Grant to Host Major Multi-Regional Conference

LEEDS, UK – The Leeds Policy Institute (LPI) is proud to announce it has been selected as a recipient of the Building for the Future grant, awarded by the global platform On Think Tanks (OTT).

This international recognition places LPI among a select group of organisations chosen for their potential to shape the future of policy and institutional excellence. The grant is designed to strengthen the impact of think tanks and ensure they remain resilient and innovative in a rapidly changing global landscape.

As a primary outcome of this funding, LPI will host a landmark multi-regional conference in Leeds. This event will bring together policy leaders, academic researchers, and regional stakeholders from across the United Kingdom to tackle the most pressing socio-economic challenges facing our regions today.

Bridging the Regional Policy Gap The conference aims to serve as a catalyst for "levelling up" the policy conversation, ensuring that insights from outside the capital are integrated into national strategy. By hosting this event in Leeds, LPI reinforces the city’s growing reputation as a hub for intellectual leadership and regional advocacy.

Presdient of the Leeds Policy Institute, Joseph Clark, commented:

“We are delighted to receive this support from On Think Tanks. This grant is a significant milestone for LPI, validating our commitment to high-quality, evidence-based policy work."
