Join the TaPP Network

The TaPP Network aims to connect academic researchers with civil servants, parliamentary researchers, journalists, and others looking for expert input on UK trade policy. We aim to increase the breadth and depth of evidence available to decision-makers in UK policy, and help inform the public debate.

Our network is open. We happily host the profiles of academics based at universities or research institutes with expertise in the various aspects of trade policy. We actively encourage early career scholars to join. Our criteria are below.

This site is a collaboration between Emily Jones (University of Oxford) and Greg Messenger (University of Bristol). We are grateful for seed funding from the Strategic Priorities Fund (Policy Engagement) at the University of Oxford, the University of Bristol Policy Support Fund, the Arts and Humanities Research Council, and the Economic and Social Research Council.
