Overview

Our Centre for Energy Policy looks at:

energy or climate policy at national, devolved and/or regional levels in UK or other countries
net-zero policy linked to other public policy areas (for example, industrial or social policy)
wider economic and societal challenges in decarbonising specific sectors
‘green’ jobs and skills development challenges and opportunities in the net zero transition.
affordability and equity challenges (for example, reducing fuel poverty)

We're particularly interested in research proposals that combine theoretical and applied research in ways that contribute to the design and delivery of policy.

Research

The Politics programme at the University of Strathclyde is part of the School of Government and Public Policy, which has a long history of producing world-class research. We're one of the founding members of the European Consortium for Political Research, the largest organisation of its kind in European political science.

We welcome visiting scholars, postdoctoral researchers and often invite external speakers to take part in our seminar and lecture series.
