Donors/Sponsorship
We bring people and research together to find solutions to cross-nation issues facing policymakers. We are unique in taking a UK and Ireland comparative and cross-nation approach, working with and through our partners and research community.
As an independent and non-partisan initiative, we work across sectors and nations to produce Wise in 5 briefings, events, roundtables, reports, and training.
By working in partnership with us, or supporting our work, we can help you think and act comparatively and cross-nation, conduct policy research, drive impact from analysis and research, and deliver bespoke training and development.
Why Support PolicyWISE?
Our focus on ways of working makes us unique. Working across the UK and Ireland, we create the space, we share ideas & insight, and we help develop evidence-informed solutions.
Every contribution helps expand our reach, enhance our programmes, and strengthens our ability to create the cross-nation spaces, to develop common cultures of sharing ideas, and to focus on solutions informed by comparative research.
