the PPIW has been awarded over £6m in funding to create the Wales Centre for Public Policy, a new research centre which will help to ensure that governments and public services have access to the best available evidence to help them tackle the major policy challenges of our day.

The Wales Centre for Public Policy has been funded for five years by Welsh Government and the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and will play a key role in encouraging evidence-based policymaking and professional practice. It will continue to be hosted by Cardiff University, who have pledged an additional £1.75m investment in the Centre; bringing the full awarded to £8m.
