Living Well Inquiry

The Policy Unit has launched a Living Well Inquiry looking into what is needed to live well in 21st century Britain. It aims to bring together research from a wide variety of disciplines across the University under one overarching banner.

With the upcoming General Election, the question of what Living Well in 21st Century Britain means will be at the forefront of policymakers, media and the country's mind. This Inquiry will attempt answer this question drawing on expertise from across the University. 

The Inquiry will have four key themes - Smart Living, Clean Living, Healthy Living and Dignified Living. There will be the opportunity for researchers in the University to contribute to the Inquiry by using their research, attending events and other activities such as the recording of podcasts.
