The Warwick Policy Briefings

The Warwick Policy Briefings are policy discussions by some of Britain's leading academics on issues of national and international importance and are supported by the Financial Times. All the Briefings are at the University of Warwick's London offices in 11 Tufton Street, SW1, in the heart of Westminster and take place over lunch.

Consistently rated as one of Britain's top research universities, Warwick prides itself on being a relevant and outward looking organisation. The Warwick Policy Briefings provide a forum for some of Britain's most influential thinkers to share their latest work with senior representatives from the public, private and voluntary sectors. The Policy Briefings are for executives from industry, the City, politicians the media, diplomats, policy advisors and others with a professional interest in the issues under discussion.
