The Centre is funded by the Economic and Social Research Council; the Department for Business, Innovation & Skills; the Department of Communities and Local Government, and the Welsh Assembly Government. The Centre aims to provide high quality independent research to deepen our understanding of why some regions, cities and communities prosper, whilst others fare less well. It also aims to influence and improve policy decision-making at the national and local levels.
- International Growth Centre
- The International Growth Centre (IGC) aims to promote sustainable growth in developing countries by providing demand-led policy advice based on frontier research. The IGC's research focuses on four main themes: State, Firms, Cities, and Energy. These themes were chosen as they are the most critical areas for ensuring the continued growth of these developing countries in the future.
