Queen Mary experts are set to provide public affairs professionals with cutting-edge insights into UK politics and policy as part of an ongoing collaboration with the parliamentary and political intelligence service Dods Political Intelligence.
Queen Mary's Mile End Institute has today announced the launch of an ongoing collaboration with Dods Political Intelligence to provide public affairs professionals with cutting-edge insights into UK politics and policy. This collaboration combines Dods Political Intelligence’s nearly 200 years of experience in covering Westminster and Whitehall with Queen Mary's exceptional line-up of researchers, including ex-Government ministers and some of the UK’s leading political scientists.
As a result, Dods Political Intelligence’s customers will now have access to this unique pool of talent and expertise in order to deliver impartial and actionable policy insights. The new offering includes bespoke policy white papers, political intelligence reports, as well as analysis that can inform political decision making (for example campaigning). At the same time, this will help public affairs teams to develop, refine and stress-test their strategies to produce better outcomes for their organisations.
Queen Mary’s Director of the Mile End Institute, Dr Sofia Collignon, said:
“At Queen Mary University of London, we are excited to collaborate with Dods Political Intelligence to bridge the gap between academic research and the practical needs of policy stakeholders. This partnership underscores our commitment to delivering impactful, evidence-based insights that inform policy and decision-making. By combining our strengths, we aim to empower organisations to navigate the complexities of UK politics with confidence and clarity.”
Dods Political Intelligence’s Managing Director, Torsten de Riese, added:
“This is another milestone in Dods’ 193-year history. The collaboration with the prestigious Queen Mary University of London will greatly enhance our research capabilities for the public affairs community as part of our ongoing commitment to provide industry-leading, innovative solutions. Dods Political Intelligence’s clients will now have access to unrivalled research talent, combined with the best-in-class political coverage and cutting-edge technology to enable better understanding and decision-making.”
The Mile End Institute is Queen Mary University of London's primary centre for the study and public discussion of the major challenges facing British politics, policymaking, and public life. Directed by Professors Michael Kenny, Philip Cowley, Tim Bale, Patrick Diamond, and now Dr Sofia Collignon, the Mile End Institute has cemented Queen Mary's reputation as one of the UK's leading universities for the study of British politics.
