University of Glasgow Centre for Public Policy are delivering a series of webinars before the May 2026 election.

The University of Glasgow (UofG) Centre for Public Policy is delivering a series of four expert-led webinars during the election campaign, to help make sense of the choices facing voters and key policy issues emerging from the parties. 

Across April and early May, we’re partnering with leading organisations including the Academy of Social Sciences, the Institute for Fiscal Studies, and Ipsos, to explore the big policy questions shaping the elections.  

We’ll be discussing the cost of living, voter behaviours, polling trends, spending plans and of course, what next? 

These webinars are free, open to all, and designed to bring clarity, evidence and insight to some of the most pressing issues in Scotland, Wales and across the UK.

Details for all events are below:

  • 21 April – What can devolved governments do to address the cost-of-living crisis?
