Ideas that improve lives

The Centre for Public and Policy Engagement (CPPE) was established to support academic communities build partnerships with policymakers and the public so that research and education at the University of Essex can improve people’s lives.

The CPPE brings together diverse public and policy engagement expertise across the university to address local, national and international challenges and maximize our impact on society, the economy and the environment.

The CPPE

Fosters a culture of engagement across the University and helps our academic community to understand the value of engagement and the partnerships we can build beyond our University.
Improves how public and policy engagement is coordinated across the University to maximise opportunities.
Builds capacity by providing training, resources and support for our researchers to engage with policy makers and the public whilst raising our national and global reputation for using research and scholarships to create societal benefit.
