Scottish Policy Innovation Forum

Welcome to the website of the Scottish Policy Innovation Forum (SPIF). On these pages you will find information on who we are, what we do, our past and future meetings and how to become involved in our work.

The Forum is a network of academics and individuals from the public, private and voluntary sectors. Its purpose is to foster better and more meaningful dialogue between academics and policymakers, with a view to ensuring that public policy is better informed by research. Membership of the forum is open to anyone with a professional interest in the development of public policy.

The Forum is an inter-organisational network and has an administrative base in the University of Glasgow. Its organising committee consists of academics from a number of Scottish universities - see Who We Are.
