CEPR has recently established a new type of research network: a Research and Policy Network, the main aim of which is to build a community of researchers around a particular topic and to ensure that policy issues are considered over a longer time period.

The purpose of the new RPN on Populism is to become the leading forum for constructive contributions in this area. It is expected that it will become a key source of expertise on understanding the drivers and implications of the recent rise of populism and potential policy solutions.

On Monday 1 - Tuesday 2 July 2019, the first meeting of RPN, hosted by Sciences Po, Paris took place.
