Yorkshire and Humber Policy Innovation Partnership

Lead Research Organisation: University of Leeds
Department Name: Leeds University Business School (LUBS)

Abstract

The phase 1 Yorkshire and Humber Local Policy Innovation Partnership ('YPIP') will undertake an extensive engagement programme with regional stakeholder across policy, business, communities and academia in order to co-design a large programme of work to make tangible gains in progress towards a more inclusive and sustainable society and economy for the region. Leveraging a new infrastructure which is being established, the plans will build quickly on commitments for collaboration, to bring focus to emerging priorities which have been identified through extensive work to date between partners. Through a series of workshops bringing together stakeholders it will refine the identified priorities relating to boosting local economic performance through inclusive growth; living and working sustainably in a greener economy; innovation and green technologies; and communities in their places. A key cross cutting theme explored throughout will be data and informatics. These shared priorities will be developed into a plan of action for regional progress in these areas, putting community needs at the heart of societal and economic change.

Phase 1 will test methodologies for engagement and co-design, to feed into an effective larger programme of work. It will also deliver regional landscape mapping and evidence analysis to underpin planning.

The ultimate aim will be to draw subregional activities and initiatives together, and facilitate shared learning and testing of solutions, whilst also identifying new approaches where issues reach beyond a local or subregional scale and need coordinated efforts. Plans will be developed for a full scale 3-year partnership plan which will deliver a mix of levels of activity - from cross-regional initiatives to test and learn pilot projects using different approaches to the same challenges in different areas.

Description Our LPIP-Phase-1 activities showed that it was possible to have productive, open discussions about the policy priorities of members of the diverse sectors of Yorkshire and Humber subregions. These discussions - structured in a variety of ways (table-top talk, stick-up posters, shared conversations, and so on) - led to agreement about sub-regional policy priorities regarding inclusive growth and sustainable living at the end of 3-5 hour workshops held in four cities within the region in the period July-August 2023.
The work done for the LPIP Phase-1 project by academic and staff members of the 12 universities in Yorkshire and the Humber demonstrated that it was possible to build a coherent, region-wide plan for activities that would build regional resilience and prosperity, making progress on problems of widening inequality and climate-change risks, and that could involve all 12 universities together. With an appropriate design, a key role was found for members of each of the region's universities in the activities planned (for LPIP Phase-2).

Our LPIP Phase-1 work showed that the perspectives and priorities of different policy stake-holders in each subregion - business, third-sector organizations, local and combined authorities, universities, and community members - could be integrated into shared sub-regional - and ultimately regional - visions of what the region's policy focus should be.

For academic researchers, we found that focusing on policy issues in the region opened the way for academics from different universities and from different disciplines to work together across university lines, for the good of the region.
Exploitation Route Our LPIP Phase-1 effort showed that a coalitional approach among universities in a region, in which members of each university's staff have roles to play and a voice in proceedings, can generate research-based policy ideas that encompass the capabilities and strengths of multiple institutions - the universities themselves, and the stakeholders with which each university is engaged (singly or collectively). It should be noted that the structure of cooperation across universities has resulted from a multi-year effort undertaken by the region's universities and leaders of their local and combined authorities to build trust, share insights, and learn to work together.

Description * First, the plans we have made for initiatives in the areas of data informatics have induced local and combined authorities, along with other regional stakeholders - in particular, the Yorkshire and Humber Climate Commission and the YH ARC, to agree to develop plans for integrating data resources/data bases each has available (and has been building) for the purpose of facilitating region-wide planning and analysis for the region's policy stake-holders and also of enabling community members and community-based groups to participate more effectively in policy decision-making processes in the region. * Second, the methods our LPIP Phase-1 workshops introduced - open forums in which diverse stake-holders could come together to freely exchange ideas, across sectoral categories, has shown how the efforts of each of the individual sectors (business, government, university) to make a differentce can be enriched by creating such vehicles for communication and debate. * Third, our LPIP Phase-1 activities, once these enable the commencement of LPIP Phase-2 activities will permit members of the public, private, third, university and community sectors to continue to work collaboratively on the overall direction of policy change and on the specific initiatives that Phase-2 will initiate. Our lasting contribution to regional sustainability, prosperity, and well-being may be to show how universities can create 'fair and open space' for dialogue and debate among diverse stakeholders in a regional context in which governance arrangements are either fragmented or in transition. * Fourth, the barriers to impact that we have discovered have to do with the immense pressure that our local and combined authorities are under to serve the public interest. For local authorities, it is about providing needed public and social services; for the combined authorities, it is on defining and refining their governance roles in what is still an evolving institutional context. The problem of integrating investments across the entire region, in the absence of a specifically regional decisional level (especially in areas of physical investment) remains unsolved; it is hoped that universities can bridge the gap here via sharing of expertise and the provision of forums for knowledge exchange and policy advancement. * Fifth, this project already began to have an effect on the academics within the participating universities: those involved could see how engagement with regional policy issues could enrich research projects and themes; those not yet involved were intrigued by the possibilities - we expect more to get involved with this region-spanning work as LPIP Phase-2 unfolds.

PI Contribution * The structure of YPIP was co-designed by me, the staff I hired, and my academic and non-academic collaborators across the 12 universities in Yorkshire and the Humber, to realise this potential. It led directly to the creation of a LPIP Phase-2 funding proposal, which was the specific objective of our Phase-1 activities, and which we submitted on time, 19 Sept 2023, to the new UKRI portal. We coordinated all the communications with our partners, indicating ways in which they could join either the workshops we were undertaking and/or the proposal itself. We had individual meetings with representatives and potential collaborators in LPIP Phase-2 from each of the universities, exploring how they might like to be involved and then considering how these different forms of participation might be worked into a coherent overall plan for a region-wide project. At the same time, I am an active member of the Research England-funded YPERN project (which also involves the 12 universities in Yorkshire and the Humber), and I made certain that our communications and plans were consistent with YPERN activities, which had reached a new and more mature phase 8-12 months in advance of our work for the LPIP Phase-1 grant this is the subject of this report.
Collaborator Contribution The collaborators in the University of Hull, University of Sheffield, Sheffield Hallam University, and University of York - that is, my prospective co-investigators and the research and administrative staff assisting them - organized 2 workshops each, for a total of 8. This involved considerable effort - arranging the space, co-developing a plan for the workshops, spreading the word, getting people to come there from the different sectors of society, and then running the workshops and assessing their results. All these activities were carried out as per our LPIP Phase-1 application. The results were excellent - we had robust workshops, whose length in time varied from 3 hours to 6 hours. Many participants joined, from all sectors of each subregion in Yorkshire and the HUmber. My partners in these universities then helped generate analyses and also participated in meetings in which we synthesized the results of these workshops. These activities led directly to the co-creation of the different work packages and - as it turned out - the cross-cutting theme that we put into our (successful) LPIP Phase-2 proposal.

At the same time, I am an active member of the Research England-funded YPERN project (which also involves the 12 universities in Yorkshire and the Humber), and I made certain that our communications and plans were consistent with YPERN activities, which had reached a new and more mature phase 8-12 months in advance of our work for the LPIP Phase-1 grant this is the subject of this report.
Collaborator Contribution The collaborators in the University of Hull, University of Sheffield, Sheffield Hallam University, and University of York - that is, my prospective co-investigators and the research and administrative staff assisting them - organized 2 workshops each, for a total of 8. This involved considerable effort - arranging the space, co-developing a plan for the workshops, spreading the word, getting people to come there from the different sectors of society, and then running the workshops and assessing their results. All these activities were carried out as per our LPIP Phase-1 application. The results were excellent - we had robust workshops, whose length in time varied from 3 hours to 6 hours. Many participants joined, from all sectors of each subregion in Yorkshire and the HUmber. My partners in these universities then helped generate analyses and also participated in meetings in which we synthesized the results of these workshops. These activities led directly to the co-creation of the different work packages and - as it turned out - the cross-cutting theme that we put into our (successful) LPIP Phase-2 proposal.

All these activities were carried out as per our LPIP Phase-1 application. The results were excellent - we had robust workshops, whose length in time varied from 3 hours to 6 hours. Many participants joined, from all sectors of each subregion in Yorkshire and the HUmber. My partners in these universities then helped generate analyses and also participated in meetings in which we synthesized the results of these workshops. These activities led directly to the co-creation of the different work packages and - as it turned out - the cross-cutting theme that we put into our (successful) LPIP Phase-2 proposal.
