£32m for four independent social and economic research centres

This investment will go to four independent research centres funded by UKRI and ESRC to address a variety of important social and economic topics.

This includes a new centre that will focus on mitigating the effects of, and finding solutions to, the health impacts of the climate crisis.

The other three investments follow on from the work of previous centres. They cover:

• research into peoples’ lives over many years to improve health and wellbeing and reduce inequalities
• how digital technologies are changing work, and the implications for employers, workers, job seekers and governments
• improving UK policymaking by integrating knowledge of history, behavioural science, economics, medical sciences and culture
