About Us
The Globalisation and Economic Policy Centre
GEP - the Globalisation and Economic Policy Centre - is the major centre in Europe studying the impacts of globalisation and economic policy and one of the biggest of its kind in the world. The Centre has an impressive international reputation; its academics have advised the Treasury, the World Bank and WTO.
GEP was established in the School of Economics at the University of Nottingham in 2001. The research and dissemination activities are structured around four Research Programmes, linked by the common theme of globalisation:
- Theory and Methods
- Globalisation and Labour Markets
- Globalisation, Productivity and Technology
- China and the World Economy
GEP supports both scientific and policy focused research. Its core staff comprises a group of Research Fellows based at Nottingham, a network of External Fellows from a number of Universities in Western Europe, North America and Australia, and a number of Policy Associates based in the policy-making community. GEP publishes its own Research Paper Series, sponsors a weekly seminar series regular workshop programmes and conferences and supports a range of other outreach activities.
GEP is primarily funded by grants from the Leverhulme Trust.
