Abstract
ESRC has made substantial investment in Brexit-related research and academic engagement. A flagship, award winning, initiative, the UK in a Changing Europe (UKICE), has established a unique position as a forum and platform for communicating expert analysis with diverse public audiences, work with various media outlets and specialist support for government and civil society organisations. 25 ESRC Brexit Priority Grants are conducting urgent, applied research relevant to the Brexit negotiations in support of UKICE. Well-developed post-Priority Grant plans are in place for research to analyse, think-though and lay longer-term social, economic, spatial, legal and political foundations for 'Governance after Brexit'.
The Leadership Coordination Fellow has the core purpose of maximising the overall value added by the Priority Grants (with UKICE) and Governance after Brexit. Beyond project-specific contributions, their full potential is collective and requires collaboration, cooperation and co-ordination. The Fellow needs experience and skill as an academic leader.
At least for the Priority Grants, the Fellow will work hand-in-glove with UKICE, particularly its Director Prof Anand Menon, Communications Officer, Ben Miller and Office Manager, Pheobe Couzens. UKICE has developed a unique position as an expert and impartial platform for expert input to an often febrile and disputatious debate around Brexit and as a forum for balanced contributions from protagonists. Prof Menon has a distinctively calm, engaging and expert voice on Brexit.
Working with UKICE, the Fellow's role is to facilitate Priority Grant engagement particularly with governments but also with parliaments, the judiciary, civil society organisations and the wider public. As well as operating across the three main branches of government and beyond them to civil society, it needs to function across and connect the UK's nations, regions and localities. Subsequently, the Fellow will play a similar, but more independent role in the Governance after Brexit programme. There will be some scope, at least initially, to continue the partnership with UKICE.
To reach its potential, the Brexit portfolio must draw on diverse academic disciplines and integrate their work effectively. UKICE and the Priority Grants have successfully engendered several inter- and trans-disciplinary research teams. For Governance after Brexit, the range should expand to include stronger elements that draw from such disciplines as geography, sociology, social policy, anthropology, law and/or history.
To maximise the impact of its Brexit-related work, this research portfolio should be connected to other ESRC investments, notably a project 'Between two Unions' on the UK as a and major on-going investments on the economy and public attitudes. A range of centres and investments dealing with such issues as population, migration, civil society, housing and productivity are also making relevant contributions. In addition, connections with research supported by other funders would be valuable.
As well as existing investments, this issues raised by Brexit are reshaping the social science research agenda. The Fellow has a horizon-scanning and scoping role to play in relation to future research priorities, including programmes already being planned in the UK and across Europe. Moreover, if Brexit is a UK process, it can also be thought of as a local instance of a wider set of phenomena, which have had an impact in a number of other societies across the world. New research should address these wider phenomena in their comparative and global contexts.
Finally, Brexit and related developments pose challenges to the social sciences. Some have questioned the credibility of polling research that failed to predict Brexit (just as the economic crash weakened the credibility of economics). Reflection on fundamental social science approaches, concepts and methods will be one element of the Fellow's scoping work.

Planned Impact
Making an impact with academic research is central to the Fellow's role. Its impact aspect will alter as the role's balance changes over time. Initially, coordinating the Brexit Priority Grants to maximising their collective value and link them to research users through UK in a Changing Europe is a priority. That initiative has built a superb, awarding winning communication and engagement platform. I have an established, effective working relationship with its Director (we co-edited a 2016 Brexit 'Political Quarterly' edition). I served as Chair of the UKICE Advisory Group at an earlier period. As Fellow, I would participate actively in the full range of engagement and impact work of the Changing Europe initiative and Priority Grantholders. At least for its initial period, 'Governance after Brexit' could also make use of the 'Changing Europe' platform, but I would also play a more prominent engagement role as its Coordinator.
Governments across the UK are key impact partners in this work, with civil servants in Whitehall, Belfast, Cardiff and Edinburgh especially important partners. Across the portfolio, maintaining both independence and relationships of mutual trust with a range of policy actors from across the UK is a key requirement for the success of this post. The Fellow may have some scope to mediate among governments and with other interested actors.
The withdrawal legislation and post-Brexit developments will pose significant challenges to Westminster and to the devolved legislatures. New ways of Parliamentary working are likely to develop, probably ad hoc. I would aim to help set those changes in a broader conceptual and constitutional framework, to bolster UK representative democratic practice. The judiciary and legal professions are also priorities for engagement. In practice, post-Brexit, the constitution will change through the interplay of the three branches of government.
Civil society organisations - business, unions and third sector organisations (TSOs) are also important partners. I am well placed to enhance the hitherto somewhat underplayed involvement of TSOs in this ESRC portfolio, with a particular focus on TSOs working on issues of gender and of equalities.
The UK in a Changing Europe has a strong media presence and good record of engagement with wider publics. As well as strengthening work in London, I would deploy the Priority Grants and wider ESRC investments to ensure a good spread of activity across the UK. Engaging audiences and partners outside the UK is an important element of some Priority Grants, to inform the Article 50 negotiations, and may grow in the next phases of 'Changing Europe' activity. It will also be an important element of the Fellow's wider scoping work.
The Fellow will facilitate impact partners' access to outstanding applied research on Brexit, and then to a growing body of new longer term and conceptual work on the wider issues it raises. By sustaining trust relationships with the range of key impact partners, the Fellow will develop capacity to feed their priorities and perspectives into the shaping and framing of new research programmes. This role will emulate, but go beyond the established good practice of involving non-academic partners as co-designers of individual projects. As Brexit, and similar events elsewhere in the world, have also challenged some aspects of social science, these perspectives would also contribute to the Coordinator Fellow's work in scoping fundamental research with potential to reshape key aspects of social science. The nodal and networked coordination position also allows the Fellow potentially to serve as an intermediary between various actors and institutions. There may be potential for the Coordinator to use this portfolio to create private spaces for governments and intergovernmental groups to work through ideas and possibilities for and after Brexit. Other impact partners could be offered similar opportunities.

The Anglo-British imaginary and the rebuilding of the UK's territorial constitution after Brexit: unitary state or union state?
in Territory, Politics, Governance
| Description | Two broad aspects of this award have shaped its key findings. 1. The Fellowship was not a conventional research project. It was, instead, a challenging and highly rewarding role focused on research leadership, coordination and linkage. It involved considerable 'behind the scenes' work together with some 'front stage' performance, working in partnership with the ESRC Office, a wide interdisciplinary range of leading social science researchers and what I regard as the most innovative impact and engagement initiative that the ESRC has funded. Consequently, the award itself did not generate findings in the orthodox sense. (I am strongly of the view that to be credible, the holder of a research leadership role of this kind should be active and innovative in their own ongoing substantive research. Though ESRC did not fund an element of that kind of work in my original grant, it did support a short postdoctoral research role linked to the Fellowship. I was fortunate to have other funding (detailed below) allowed me actively to pursue cognate research projects alongside the Fellow role and integrated with it.) As Fellow, I worked to: a) enrich and extend research conducted on two programmes (25 Brexit Priority Grants (BPGs); 17 Governance after Brexit (GaB) Grants) for which I provided leadership; b) contribute to the strategic and operational leadership Kings College, London based UK in a Changing Europe (UKiCE) initiative; c) extended the reach of other projects on which I was engaged (three ESRC projects - the Between two Unions Large Grant, Welsh Election Survey 2019 urgency grant and the (ongoing) Wales Election Study - plus a continuing series of Legal Education Foundation projects on Brexit and Civil Society in Wales, in collaboration with the Wales Council for Voluntary Action (WCVA)). Given the nature of the grant (ie one not made to fund substantive research) d) it may be helpful to construe some outcomes of Fellowship processes as 'findings'; I have reflected and published on the 'model' of research and impact that developed around UKiCE and the GaB programme with UKiCE (https://ukandeu.ac.uk/brexit-and-the-social-sciences-challenges-and-opportunities/), as a member of the Working Group of Royal Society of Edinburgh Project on Rethinking Policy Impact (https://rse.org.uk/expert-advice/rethinking-policy-impact/; https://rse.org.uk/resources/resource/blog/taking-territoriality-seriously-policy-impact-at-different-government-levels/) and in Regional Studies https://doi.org/10.1080/00343404.2021.1950915 2. The Fellowship operated in a context of very high uncertainty. This uncertainty was rooted in weak understanding of the likely consequences of Brexit combined with profound disagreement and conflict over the fundamentals of UK politics, society and economy unveiled by the referendum result. Deep public contention over Brexit characterised some periods of the Fellowship, such as GaB's first phase during 2018 and 2019. Several first phase projects and the programme's entire second phase were deeply marked by the Covid-19 pandemic. A key aim of the Fellowship was to engender and support curiosity-driven, basic social science concerned with the long-term trends and tendencies associated with Brexit. It is only superficially paradoxical that high uncertainty - and potential instability in the UK's political scene and governmental arrangements - BOTH increases the need for and value of fundamental social science research AND makes that research much more challenging. Social science researchers need to negotiate their relationships with key current impact partners with some care. The timing and sequencing of ESRC Governance and Policy investments in the Brexit space illuminate the contextual uncertainty that shaped this Leadership Fellowship: ongoing Brexit uncertainty and Covid-19 reshaped its later phases (see 'Timeline' below). As for most UKRI funded research, the complexity and uncertainty surrounding this research has been exacerbated by the Covid pandemic. Equally, the programme and its findings has potential to make a contribution to dealing with Covid and its aftermath, not least if it can be used to inform future research on basic long-term and broadly conceived governance questions. Fellowship outcomes as 'findings' The Fellowship put me in a distinctive position to contribute to academic research from multi-disciplinary and cross-project perspective. It significantly enhanced my ability to operate across social science disciplines and to consider how funding processes and project structures contribute to outcomes. I will highlight three areas. First, the Fellowship offers potential lessons for research programme design/call design. In his introductory comments to the final programme conference in November 2023, Stian Westlake, ESRC Executive Chair described GaB as encompassing innovative and ambitious approaches to long term questions of UK governance, asking difficult questions, going where the traditional news agenda does not go, through rigorous and interdisciplinary research that gained traction with local audiences as well as national opinion formers and the UK government. It would not be right to attribute all these qualities to the design of the programme. As well as making some retreat into their bunkers, the 'shock' of Brexit also opened an opportunity for new ways of looking at old problems. Other innovative projects - such as the Exeter University based 'Brexit and Belonging' - came through the ESRC's standard commissioning processes. Perhaps some of the GaB projects would have been submitted even without the programme. Even against this possible counterfactual, the programme was explicated designed to encourage the kind of research Westlake has noted. It aimed at high-risk high-reward projects on the challenges and opportunities of Brexit for UK governance broadly construed across society, politics and the economy explicitly across its nations, regions and localities. It asked for research that sought to blend disciplines and/or push the boundaries of methodological innovation, with a particularly strong appetite for innovation for smaller 'innovation' grants. The larger grants invited survey work, comparative and ethnographic methods and multiple location studies. The smaller innovation projects piloted a novel commissioning method, with a first sift based solely on double blind evaluation of short initial project outline followed by a full proposal. I believe these methods contributed to the programme's diversity and success. It is, for example, highly unlikely, in my view, that a standard commissioning method would have resulted in the funding of a family sociologist to lead a project on Brexit. More generally, the outcomes ultimately valued by Westlake were explicit objectives worked into the call design and its commissioning methods five years earlier. It is unclear to me whether the possible lessons of the general features of the call or the specific record of the innovation grant method have been evaluated by ESRC. Nor is it clear if ESRC has reused/further developed these approaches (or considered doing so but made an explicit decision not to do so). Second, my role helped me to develop a distinctive overview of Brexit and governance research across disciplines, topic areas and places across the UK. Though some evidence, funding and dissemination gaps were already fairly clear, my role helped to identify others. The flexibility of the Fellowship gave me some scope to help fill - or at least to address - some of these gaps. For example, there was a clear gap in relation to funding and dissemination of research on Brexit and Gender. I was given a small additional grant to convene a dissemination conference on this theme at London's QE2 centre in September 2018 in collaboration with UKiCE (https://ukandeu.ac.uk/videos/brexit-and-gender-conference-gender-in-the-brexit-debate/). I have a long-term interest in state and non-state national identities across the UK. A possible opportunity to use a highly unusual very large pan-UK survey conducted in 2018 for the BBC Home Affairs editor Mark Easton arose. ESRC funded a one-year research position, starting in 2019 and attached to my Fellowship, to explore this opportunity. As it turned out, the survey was not designed for the kind of political/political sociology analysis I had hoped. Even so, the researcher made a valuable contribution to the Fellowship work. The researcher also meant that when my Cardiff colleague, Richard Wyn Jones, was afforded the opportunity to bid for an urgency grant for the (unexpected) general election in 2019, we had the capacity to make a successful application for a Welsh Election Survey. That project provided the foundation for a larger ESRC Welsh Election Study project from 2021. Heavy focus on so-called 'left behind' communities and the 'Red Wall' created a less obvious gap for research on the large number of relatively affluent or 'comfortable' Brexit supporters. (The Brexit and Belonging project did work in farming communities which included some relatively comfortably off interlocutors.) Ethnographers were working in post-industrial and rural settings, but not in such places as the West Kent Golf Club, where Nigel Farage got his first job in the City. Though I was not invited bid for urgency grants around the 2019 UK general election, having identified this gap I worked with UKiCE on a successful application for a project on 'Comfortable Leavers', latterly working closely with Paula Surridge, who had been appointed Deputy Director of UKiCE on the project.. Though the project could not operate on the scale needed for an ethnography, on-line deliberative workshops were conducted across Britain over the summer of 2020. Though it did not become remotely as pervasive as the 'left behind' or the 'red wall', the term 'Comfortable Leavers' (eg https://ukandeu.ac.uk/videos/comfortable-leavers-report-launch/) gained some traction and helped to bring a major component of the Brexit supporting coalition into focus. Third, social policy is a major strand of my research interests. My funded research in this area remained more distinct from my Fellowship work. Although matters of social policy played a key role in support for and debates around Brexit, they have not been as central a focus on ESRC funded research on these topics as some others (but see the Governance after Brexit project on Health (PI Hervey)). Based on my wider research interests, I made a modest contribution to UKiCE on wider social policy and welfare state questions (https://ukandeu.ac.uk/how-generous-is-british-welfare/). Key findings from BPGs and GaB Here I will operate at a high level of analysis, since I am not claiming project level results as a direct Fellowship findings. Although the first phase includes some projects with quantitative aspects, both survey-based and using big data, overall, many phase one projects operated ethnographic, qualitative and deliberative modes. This set of projects has found significant disjunctions between politics and policymaking at the centre of the UK system and experience in a variety of locations, many in the north of England or in Northern Ireland, but also in rural places and in the agriculture sector. Reflecting the design of the Second phase projects tend to operate within more conventional disciplinary frames. Again, there is a clear cluster of work on the politics and economics of the position of Northern Ireland, a strong cluster of work on migration and related UK government policies and processes, further political science research on public attitudes through surveys, survey experiments and citizen assemblies, and economic research on UK trade. Before the Covid pandemic, there was a clear sense that the social, economic and political fabric of the UK was stretched very thin. In one sense, this fabric proved remarkably, perhaps even surprising resilient through the pandemic. For example, local authorities where planning and policy delivery capacity had been significantly hollowed out nevertheless found ways of working locally, with communities and often with micro or hyper local civil society organisations, to respond to the pandemic. Even so, the upshot of the pandemic seems to have further stretched and torn this fabric. The intersection of Covid with the practical implementation of Brexit has potential significantly to impact on governance capacities, in ways GaB projects have analysed in the highly distinctive and penetrating ways that Stian Westlake noted. Findings from my own research In terms of my individual contributions, the UKiCE and GaB research streams interact with other projects in which I have bee (including ESRC funded work on the Between two Unions and the Welsh Election Study (WES 2019 and WES 2021) grants as well as the WISERD Research Centre, plus a Legal Education Foundation project for the Wales Brexit Civil Society Forum). Two 'process' points should be made here. The first relates to filling another 'gap' in Brexit research, this time on Wales. Though I have clear interests in Welsh politics and Wales's position in the UK's territorial constitution, I do not regard myself primarily specialist on Wales. Partly reflecting a change to the Between two Unions project team I led (a researcher named to lead the substantive work on Wales left academia for a research role with the Senedd), I became more heavily involved in substantive research on Wales over a period that coincided with the first part of the Fellowship. Partly as a consequence, but also to fill what would otherwise have been a gap, I wrote a large number of Wales-focused UKiCE blogs. Although a previous UKiCE SF had focused on Wales, for most of the term of my Leadership role I provided the Welsh 'limb' of a de facto devolution 'team' with SFs based in Scotland and Northern Ireland. [It is hard to determine the level of attention Wales merits in ESRC priorities. Though it has distinct and little researched governance arrangements (by comparison WISERD has researched Welsh social patterns, the Welsh Centre for Public Policy bridges Welsh Government and academia to supply policy-relevant evidence and the Welsh Election Study addresses citizen attitudes), the Welsh population is relatively small. Does Welsh governance merit roughly a population share of the funding devoted to Scotland or Northern Ireland? Or equivalent funding for parts of England (regions, city-regions, other local areas). The reality is that Scotland and Northern Ireland generally garner more attention - and, in the context of UKiCE and GaB provision - more ESRC funding than Wales. Yet, because it has been governed by clearly pro-Union devolutionists, the experience of Wales may have lessons UK territorial governance that are at least as significant as those of Scotland and Northern Ireland]. IN any event, my GaB and UKiCE experience led on to significant new roles, notably as the UK Covid-19 Inquiry's Expert Witness on core decision-making in Wales (one of five expert witness roles on core decision-making across the UK). Second, through my Fellowship role, in combination with Between two Unions research, I formed effective collaborative research partnerships with a UKiCE research team member (Dr Alan Wager - Regional Studies article) and with the PI of the GaB phase one Northern Ireland focused project 'Performing Identity' (Colin Murray, now Professor, Journal of Law and Society and Territory Politics Governance articles) (Regional Studies and Territory Politics Governance both also with Gregory Davies (Between two Unions researcher, now lecturer at the University of Liverpool). I have writing plans with other GaB project leads. Around this broad range of leadership work, collaboration and primary research I have developed a distinctive analysis of the 'Anglo-British imaginary' that shapes constitutional discourse and political and policy practice at the UK state's centre. This analysis of the dominant 'imagined nation' has been developed through a series of articles in leading journals: the Journal of Law and Society, Public Law, Regional Studies, Social & Legal Studies and Territory Politics Governance). Relatedly, my on-going research on multiple national identities has found that those emphasising English identity tended to vote leave in the Brexit referendum, while those emphasising Scottish or Welsh id, tended to vote remain. To put the point another way, British identity is associated with opposite attitudes and behaviours in England as compared to Scotland and Wales. A comprehensive analysis of the public attitudes data on Brexit vote choice across the GB nations was published in a second paper in Regional Studies. Alongside work from the BPGs (including work published in journal symposia/special editions I have edited) these Anglo-British imaginary and multiple national ids analyses feed in to a second key finding. While sometimes highly effective in campaign mode, Anglo-British politicians find it difficult to 'read' the UK across its territory for the purposes of governing. That is also true of its central administration. Instead, a series of distinct and strikingly encapsulated public debates coexist in various nations and jurisdictions, territories and localities that make up the UK. Both within England and across the UK, territorial governance is highly fragmented and lacks coherence. The UK central government struggles to 'read' 'its' territories for the purposes of governance (see UKICE 'long read' https://ukandeu.ac.uk/long-read/the-possible-break-up-of-the-united-kingdom/). Moreover, effective territorial governance requires that the UK central state has effective working relationships with partners of various kinds, reflecting the 'paradox of structure' - the way in which structures at once constrain and facilitate government action (see my 2020 Journal of Common Market Studies article https://doi.org/10.1111/jcms.13109. The observation that the ambition to 'take back control' seems beset by challenges associated with tendencies to try to evade 'hard choices' still seems relevant (flagged in publications shortly before the award of the Fellowship) as does a tendency for relationships between UK governments to be fractious. On becoming PM, Sunak made some initial moves to mitigated these features. Fractious relationships between the UK and devolved governments in Scotland and Wales, as well as relationships in Northern Ireland are marked by a striking tendency on all sides to short-termism. On the one hand, the UK government seems focused on preventing independence in Scotland and increasing committed, politically, to avoiding Irish unification, at least in the short term and notwithstanding its formal commitments under the Belfast/Good Friday Agreement. Yet, over the longer term, there is little evidence of a plan to address a situation in which support for Scottish independence seems unlikely to fall much below 50% and a recent poll showed support at a historic high of 39% in Wales (even if that settled down to, say one in three). Equally, should, say, Scotland become independent, Anglo-Scottish relations would remain critical for both sides. Irish unification would not eliminate close social, family and individual relationships across these islands. Whatever the trajectory of the headline constitutional issues, the UK may well face an extended period of deadlock - or toxic mutual hostility - between these territories, their political systems and leaders. Yet there is very little evidence of forward-looking UK government or opposition work on how relations between governments across the nations and jurisdictions that make up the UK. The Brown Commission was timid, and mostly focused on England and the Anglo-Scottish relationship. The opposition leadership now seems to have put it on the long finger, Sue Grey's distinctively unusual deep feel for devolution seemingly notwithstanding. The Institute for Government has convened valuable work on the future of the UK's constitutional arrangements, including around the territorial constitution. The UK Covid-19 Inquiry's first report on its Modules 1 and 2, due for publication later in 2024 will, no doubt, engage with these questions. My own work as an Expert Witness on core decision making for the Inquiry found that the UK government operated in a highly inconsistent manner, intervening in Wales in areas of devolved competence, often without even informing the Welsh Government or other relevant organisation in Wales while choosing not to provide financial support for key interventions in areas where it had devolved substantive responsibility/authority. It was repeated inconsistent over whether its relationship to Wales was one of cooperation, supervision, devolution or intervention. The most sustained and far-reaching publicly oriented work on this topic is the Welsh Government's Independent Commission on the Constitutional Future, which has received at best an ambivalent reception among Labour MPs from Wales. By contrast the UK government and, especially, the opposition seem to have more interest in the Institute for Government's more recent proposals for reform at the UK government's centre. The proposed changes make good sense in their own terms. They include the observation that the UK government has not 'adjusted' to devolution yet. However, any strengthening of the UK centre needs to take care not to undermine accountability and other legitimate governance role. Without improving its democratic scrutiny by the parliament at Westminster, reconsidering the role of judicial review or finding some way of entrenching devolution a stronger centre might become more autocratic. More subtly, the paradox of structure suggests that any attempt to strengthen the centre might capture by an illusion of control. Unless the centre is properly grounded in robust governance structures and a strong society, it is unlikely to get the strong feedback necessary to adjust and correct a course of action it is minded to pursue. It could find that policy levers it imagines it can pull simply lack a connection to the social, economic or governance reality it is seeking to influence. There has been, and is, though, interest in working through these issues with me - and making use of the academic networks developed through and around the Fellowship from some strategic officials in key government departments (particularly the FCDO and to some extent DLUHC). That phase of my work is, now, largely in the past, since those involved are no longer directly funded to do this work and have other priorities. On the other hand, my related Legal Education Foundation funded work show a powerful appetite for engagement and collaboration among civil society organisations across these topics. Having held major conferences for civil society in Belfast (2018) and Edinburgh (2022) we will be hosting the next event in the series in Cardiff (21-22 March 2024). Fellowship timeline I took up the Brexit Leadership Fellowship in November 2017. The initial brief was to coordinate 25 previously commissioned BPGs (which were in the field from May 2017, less than a year after the Brexit referendum) and design a call for phase one of GaB. The role also involved scanning other Brexit-relevant research project, especially those funded by ESRC. My Fellowship application considered the challenge posed by Brexit for the social sciences (notably the wide-spread perception of a failure to 'predict' the referendum outcome and sense that most social scientists were part of an 'expert' class opposed to it), both in relation to urgent/applied research and in the longer term. The UKiCE-linked BPG projects were for between 9 and 18 months. They were intended to meet an urgent need for impact-focused research on the progress and consequences of the UK leaving the European Union identified by the ESRC following the 2016 referendum. The investment reflected a similar view of the need for UK social science - and the wider research and research adjacent communities -re-orient to address the referendum result and Brexit negotiations effectively. As well as liaising with project teams with a view to connecting them to the UKiCE infrastructure of engagement and impact, I saw my role also as drawing out the academic potential of these projects. An unsuccessful bid to the special edition competition of the Journal of Common Market Studies (JCMS) working across just under 50% of the BPG projects led to an invitation to edit a smaller number of papers as a JCMS Symposium and re-orienting a number of other proposed papers, augmented by a small number of other submissions into a territorially oriented special edition of Regional Studies Alongside the initial BPG work, I designed a call for proposals to the GaB first phase, with submission deadlines in May 2018 and projects to start in January 2019. The impression I had at the time of my Fellowship application was that the ESRC envisaged GaB continuing after funding for UKiCE finished (as it turned out UKiCE has been recommissioned twice). The call encompassed smaller scale 'innovation' grants as well as larger scale proposals. It invited high-risk high-reward proposals on the challenges and opportunities of Brexit for society, politics and the economy throughout the nations, regions and localities of the UK. It asked for research that sought to blend disciplines and/or push the boundaries of methodological innovation, with a particularly strong appetite for innovation at the smaller grant level. The larger grants invited survey work, comparative and ethnographic methods and multiple location studies. Perhaps the only thing that was clear in the second half of 2018 was that the trajectory of Brexit remained unclear. One academic colleague involved in the commissioning process went so far as to argue that an 'after Brexit' programme was inappropriate , on the grounds that the UK might never leave the EU. My response was that the UK was 'after Brexit' in the sense had already been indelibly marked by the outcome of the referendum. In this context, the first phase call was constructed to invite proposals that would remain valuable however the politics of and negotiations around Brexit played out. Most of the phase one project research would have been even more vital, in my view, had the referendum outcome been reversed. The whole GaB programme and the Leadership Fellow role were originally due to conclude in March 2021 (although I had conversations about extending it by six months, to give time to draw lessons from the programme and the role). The initial expectation had been that the terms of UK exit would be clarified within a couple of years of the referendum, allowing for the second phase projects to begin fairly swiftly after phase one. In the event, the unsettled nature of Brexit led to both GaB and UKiCE being extended, the latter also reflecting the remarkable success of the initiative as a highly innovative social science impact and engagement format. Sustained contestation over Brexit and lack of clarity about the terms of UK exit led the second phase GaB call to be postponed twice. It was issued, in the end, during 2019 with a deadline for outline proposals in January 2020, notification of invitations for full proposals in March and a start date of 1 November of that year. Projects were to last for up to 3 years, that is to finish by the end of 2023. In the difficult circumstances of the Covid pandemic, ably supported by the ESRC office and the generosity of academic colleagues on the advisory board and selection panel, the phase 2 selection process was brought to a successful conclusion. As well as convening and contributing to GaB- and UKiCE- based panels at key conferences (such as those of the Political Studies Association, Socio-Legal Studies Association and University Association for Contemporary European Studies), a major internal event bringing together the GaB project teams was hosted at the University of Leeds in March 2020, shortly before the Covid-19 lockdown. A critical, if background/lowkey, aim of the Fellowship was to support and draw out the research dimension of the ESRC's investments in its area, reflected ultimately in the Fellowship being co-badged as Research Director of UKiCE. This activity operates on a different, more conventionally academic footing and timescale to the fast-paced world within which UKiCE operates. For example, after convening events I edited two BPG/UKiCE based publications in leading journals. The turn-around from the BPGs finishing in 2019 to the JCMS symposium published in 2020 and Regional Studies SI published in late 2021 was remarkably quick by academic standards, but moved at a much slower pace than most UKiCE related activity. In 2020-2021 ESRC strategy development was shaped by uncertainty about its funding: although the prospect of a multi-year financial settlement had been held out, ESRC was faced with a 'holding position' of single year rollover budgets. It was unclear whether either/both of UKiCE and/or the Leadership Fellowship would be extended. After being asked to submit a bid for a full extension of the Fellowship up to the end of 2023, ESRC pivoted to offer a one-year funded extension. Partly reflecting uncertainty about the future of the role, the Fellowship Project Manager moved on at the end of March 2021. Despite the relative unattractiveness of a one-year fractional role, after some delay I was able to appoint a strong replacement Project Manager. Both GaB and UKiCE moved rapidly to operating in a virtual, on-line mode. I was closely involved in a series of debates and decisions about reworking and extending first phase projects and thinking through how second phase projects, which had been designed and submitted prior to lockdown, should operate. Vaccine rollout success in early 2021 held out the real prospect of holding face-to-face meetings and events by the autumn. But the rolling impact of Covid made that impossible. A good deal of wasted time and effort went into the planning of these events, especially given the gap in the Project Manager role. The Fellowship was designed to work closely with UKiCE - initially through the BPGs, throughout alongside the core Kings team and with the SFs. A low-key aspect of the role involved liaising with researchers on other ESRC investments relevant to GaB/UKiCE and to link them up with the hub. This time-consuming work which nevertheless played a valuable role in grounding UKiCE in wider research trajectories and providing opportunities for dissemination of findings through the UKiCE platform. Overall, despite significant challenges, 2020-22 saw a successful pivot to new ways of working and an expansion of the scope, range and impact of work associated with the Fellowship role. I worked closely between ESRC and the GaB project to support sustaining successful conduct of the research projects in the context of Covid. New online research focused events were highly successful. I began running more formal online research seminar type events in autumn 2020, initially on a relatively small scale and run independently of UKiCE. For a period when the Project Manager role was unfilled, I ran these events through Cardiff University's Wales Governance Centre. From autumn 2021 I developed new online events run through UKiCE branded as 'Research Insights' (as an element of a more closely structured relationship with UKiCE, see below). In general, UKiCE public events target general, policy, political and media audiences. Without losing sight of that wider appeal, Research Insights events were intended to dig more deeply into the research evidence that underpins GaB and UKiCE. These events provided a valuable means for thematic dissemination of GaB and UKiCE-linked research. Pleased though I am with the success of this pivot, this work did take my attention away from other potential aspects of my role. Together with uncertainty about the Fellowship's future (see below), it meant that I was not able to pursue the kind of collective publications from GaB that I had achieved with the BPGs. That is, the longer-term, slower paced nature of programme-level academic dissemination of basic research was not sustained. I was nonetheless able, I believe, to nuture and encourage fundamental research contributions made at the level of individual projects and cross-project links. Always a close relationship, 2021-22 saw a step-change in my organisational role with UKiCE: it became much more structured and integrated. This change occurred within the context of a wider set of innovations in UKiCE's internal organisation in response to evaluations of UKiCE and suggestions about its internal structures, including, some from the ESRC Office, about the GaB-UKiCE relationship. Enabled by the normalisation of videoconferencing and hybrid meeting formats, I was able to participate fully as a member of the UKiCE Senior Leadership team, its Research Committee and in its wider team meetings often from Cardiff. I brought a GaB research-focused agenda as well as distinctive cross disciplinary and territorial networks to the UKiCE aspect of the role. Uncertainty over the future of the Fellowship role continued after the one-year extension. An initial indication in autumn 2021 that the Fellowship role would not continue was modified before the end of that year. Although the ESRC appeared to rediscover its appetite for supporting a leadership/coordination role to link wider research into UKiCE, it remained unclear what form that might take. On the one hand, I was reassured my conduct of the Fellowship role was highly valued, on the other, I was not given the clarity or confidence about future support for the role. As well as finding this situation personally challenging, it meant that I focused my attention work that could be realised more quickly at the expense of investing my efforts work that would require more time to be realised. This context meant that I did not commit time and effort to generate the kind of collective publications I had realised for the BPGs from the GaB programme. Ironically, the opportunity to generate output of this kind from the earlier urgency investment was not achieved for the programme of longer-term, fundamental research. Ultimately, the choice I made proved sensible, if conservative. The research coordination role delivered by ESRC was not linked to GaB or the distinct Fellowship role. Instead, when a new set of Senior Fellowships was advertised in spring 2022, a distinct coordination role was opened to applications from successful SFs fellow as an augmentation of one of a new set of senior fellows appointed in the second half of 2022. For the avoidance of all doubt, that role, which was filled toward the end of 2022, is valuable and effective - and being ably delivered aplomb in the form of a Deputy Directorship of UKiCE. I continued to work with UKiCE on its senior leadership team and research committee through this period; choices made by the ESRC meant that I no longer had the capacity to provide the kind of leadership for GaB that could have aimed at realising the collective research potential of the programme as a whole. I was given a year-long NCE from the end of March 2022. There was no scope, under these arrangements for ESRC resources to fund my time as Fellow. Cardiff University generously protected some time for me to work on the programme until the start of academic year 2022-23. I was, though, able to maintain support for the Project Manager Role until the end of September 2022. With that support I was, at long last, able to organise a face-to-face project meeting. A internal programme event across GaB's two phases, plus representation from UKiCE was at City University of London in September 2022. After November 2022, as the new SFs started work, my role with UKiCE reduced, though I continued as a member of its research committee. Pleased as I am that we were able to pivot In March 2023, shortly before the project was due to end, I was invited by the ESRC to make a further, exceptional, NCE application. Essentially, that extension allowed me to organise a major conference held in London in November 2023, to disseminate results from projects across both GaB phases beyond conventional academic audiences (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgiJcPCuweM) . Given that neither my time nor any office support were funded by that stage, my practical ability to organise the conference depended heavily on the UKiCE team at Kings, to whom I owe a debt of gratitude. |
| Exploitation Route | The ESRC could use novel aspects of the commissioning process, particularly for the first phase of Governance after Brexit (such as the focus on UK-wide, national, regional and local engagement and the use of an initial double blind review of the first, outline, phase of review for the innovation grant stream. ESRC and Research England could also reflect on findings and publications on collective and interdisciplinary aspects of impact The findings on collective and interdisciplinary aspects of impact could also be taken forward by UK universities in redesigning their approaches to and professional support for impact UK and devolved governments and legislatures could put findings on national identities, national/territorial imaginaries, the capacity to 'read' social, economic and political realities and the paradox of structure/illusion of controle to use in the design and practices of intergovernmental and inter parliamentary relations. The UK's senior judiciary could put findings on national identities and national/territorial imaginaries, Civil society could put findings on national identities, national/territorial imaginaries, the capacity to 'read' social, economic and political realities and the paradox of structure/illusion of control to use in their work with governments and legislatures and perhaps also any litigation strategies they pursue.. Covid-19 inquiry could make use of my expert report and witness evidence on core government decision making for Wales in its reports and findings. Whichever political party provides the Prime Minister after the UK general election due in 2024 looks set to address machinery of government issues. Constitutional matters have also been raised by a number of high profile reviews and reports (one led by Gordon Brown for the Labour Party, another by Laura McAllister and Rowan Williams for the Welsh Government and further report produced but he Bennett Institute at Cambridge University and the Institute for Government), although current indications suggest that these matters may not be a priority for an incoming government led by either Labour or the Conservatives. The likely focus of change will be on making the machinery at the centre of the UK government more efficient and effective. Though valuable in its own terms, this focus invites two related kinds of risky possibility. The first is that it may not succeed in it own terms unless it avoids further unbalancing UK governance arrangements - including mechanisms for trailing initiatives and self-correcting mechanisms when mistakes are made. The general weakness of the fabric of distributed governance may mean that the efforts of an apparently stronger centre might be confounded when policy levers it seeks to pull turn out not to be attached to any local mechanism. A second possibility is that a newly empowered centre might simply overwhelm devolved, regional and local institutions and processes. Those committed to a unitarist or assimilationist view of the UK might be enthusiastic about this prospect; it is, equally, likely to be resisted by devolutionists, regionalists and localists - and could therefore prove to be a recipe for enduring conflict and/or discontent. Both these possibilities relate to and might be compounded by the limited ability of the centre to understand or 'read' its various peripheries. Officials and politicians interested in addressing these matters in a more nuanced and sophisticated way could make use of the outcomes of this funding. |

| Description | My original Fellowship application set out challenges posed by Brexit for the social sciences. These challenges included: a wide-spread perception of the failure to 'predict' the referendum outcome; a state of unpreparedness to address the issues unveiled by the referendum result or questions posed by the processes of leaving the EU; and a sense that most social scientists were part of an 'expert' class that was simply opposed to Brexit. By rapidly re-deploying a relatively number of leading UK social scientists to generate novel research focused on the new challenges thrown up by the referendum and the process of leaving the EU, the already commissioned Brexit Priority Grants (BPGs) made an important contribution to addressing these issues. After being appointed as Fellow, in effect I joined UK in a Changing Europe (UKiCE) in the provision of a framework for BPG researchers to engage with governments, legislatures and media outlets. My prior familiarity with UKiCE (having served on the original ESRC group that considered the initial call and then on its Advisory Group (for a time as its Chair) helped me to integrate into its work smoothly and quickly. UKiCE's Kings College, London hub was particularly valuable for BPG work with Whitehall, Westminster and the London-based media. It was a privilege to be closely involved with UKiCE as it consolidated and deepened its record of engagement, impact and research on Brexit-related matters. Huge credit is due to Anand Menon and the core teams that have developed around his work for the remarkable organisation and platform that UKiCE has become. It is now a landmark on the UK policy and media scene. The Governance after Brexit (GaB) programme was a core element in the scheme of the Fellowship. The programme and its projects held a hard to encapsulate place as both closely linked to UKiCE and somewhat distinct from it. GaB was successful in achieving its ambition to generate fundamental social science that has also been deeply engaged. It has resulted in novel research motivated to deepen the social science that has also made significant contributions beyond the academy, in ways that have gone beyond the conventional binary between intrinsically-motivated and extrinsically-oriented social science. The design of the first GaB call sought high-risk high-reward proposals on the challenges and opportunities of Brexit for society, politics and the economy throughout the nations, regions and localities of the UK. It asked for research that sought to blend disciplines and/or push the boundaries of methodological innovation, with a particularly strong appetite for innovation at the smaller grant level. The second call emphasized larger projects to address key issues for/across the UK state as-a-whole. The overall programme fulfilled these design aims by delivering significant impacts at local/community/regional, sub-state national and UK wide levels. Examples include work with both hyper-local and city-wide community organisations especially in Manchester, impacts on agricultural and environmental policy and on rural development policy operating initially primarily through DEFRA and policy level impact and engagement with DWP. GaB created clusters of projects around public attitudes to Brexit, questions of migration and the position of Northern Ireland, as well as a methodological innovations and networks in survey and public attitudes research and cross-disciplinary use of ethnographic-type methods. Development of personal relationships with non-academic research users is fundamental to effective social science impact. Developing and nurturing these relationships was critical to my own impact and engagement work, to my roles brokering opportunities for GaB project researchers and collaboration with UKiCE, including work with its Senior Fellows especially after the 2019 appointment. Much of this activity is necessarily confidential and would be inappropriate to report formally. Historically, this kind of work depended on face-to-face meetings and been difficult to conduct at a distance. While an element of in-person meeting remains very valuable, the shift online as a routine or normal mode of work after 2020 (see below) means it is now possible to sustain these relationships remotely. Relationships with politicians, officials and civil society organisations have been particularly important around the Fellowship role. They provide the foundation for bringing together key academics together - connections through the UKiCE SFs network have been particularly important, as has the inclusion of researchers from GaB projects and the ESRC Between two Unions large grant - to generate collective, interdisciplinary evidence on highly complex matters of UK territorial governance. Roundtable sessions with UK and devolved politicians and officials - some confidential and off-the-record, others organised on a Chatham House Rule basis - have been a particular feature of this work. Academics can make critical contributions based on well-informed expertise and relations of trust. UK political and expertise on constitutional and policy matters is highly segmented territorially. Key issues also require multi-disciplinary expertise. As a consequence, the development and maintenance of academic impact networks covering variety of disciplines and including experts with strong roots in particular nations and places has been essential. As well as a range of meetings, these *interdisciplinary* and *multi-territorial* networks generated collective policy briefings and/or evidence documents that no individual scholar could have produced (such as a report on the UK Internal Market legislation in autumn 2020 (https://www.centreonconstitutionalchange.ac.uk/sites/default/files/2020-10/UK%20INTERNAL%20MARKET%20BILL%2C%20DEVOLUTION%20AND%20THE%20UNION%20%282%29_0.pdf) and evidence submitted to a House of Lords Scrutiny Committee on Common Frameworks in autumn 2021 (https://committees.parliament.uk/writtenevidence/39763/pdf/) - on which the Committee commented 'Members wanted to particularly thank you for the quality of your submission and they fully appreciate the time taken to produce it. It will be invaluable for the ongoing inquiry into the Common Frameworks Programme.'). UKiCE provided a highly effective framework that helped to sustained these networks. Questions of devolution and territoriality remain an important part of its agenda. Equally, the pattern of expertise funded by the ESRC through UKiCE and across its wider governance and policy portfolio, meaning that there is now less specifically devolution-focused expertise at the core of this work. It is testament to the value of the UKiCE approach that, once that expertise is outside its framework it has proven much more difficult to convene collaborative, multidisciplinary, cross-territorial work of this kind. Equally, there are good reasons to call the value of engagement and impact work into question. At times, some of this work has had what Stian Westlake has called a 'Potemkin' quality, particularly, in my experience, with the UK government. The policy and legislative processes around the development of UK Internal Market during 2020 provide the standout example of theatrical rather than real impact. Engagements shortly after the 2019 general election revealed a new political impetus for legislation in this field, which had previously been addressed as part of the Common Frameworks programme. The UK government engaged with a range of academic experts during 2020. Even after the rapid hardening of its position hardened rapidly and the UK authorities no longer displayed interest in alternatives, they continued to seek engagement. As an invited expert it felt as if I was both involved in constructing the 'Potemkin' façade and expected to admire the model Village it represented. Even around the same time, engagement with the UK government had more of a 'real' quality. For example, though work with Cabinet Office Ministers and officials around the Review of Intergovernmental Relations felt contentious at times, the outcome of that process shows some evidence of that external challenge had some impact on the process. It is by no means easy to distinguish in advance - or even in the course of a particular interaction or engagement whether the event is merely theatrical or if there is an opportunity for real challenge. A second feature of engagement and impact work that can beg questions about its value relates to basic differences of perspective or understanding across policy actors from different parts of the system. Here, to put the point in somewhat pompous terms, different 'world views' of policy actors from different parts of the UK are a particular issue, with UK level officials sometimes unaware and uncomprehending about the realities of life beyond Whitehall and Westminster. I have had positive experiences of working as part of a 'team' of academic expertise from Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland engaging collectively with London-based UK officials over a series of events and conversations. Equally, navigating the differences of world view can be tricky. Being quizzed around the fringes of an 'away day' event for Whitehall officials held in the Secretary of State for Wales's conference room in UK government offices in central Cardiff was salutary experience, which illustrates some of these issues. I was asked why the Ddraig Goch was crossed with the Union Flag behind the desk of Secretary of State. The normalisation of videoconferencing from March 2020 onwards opened new possibilities for impact, engagement and the dissemination of research findings. It had notable advantages for working across places. My role within the UK in a Changing Europe initiative Overall, despite significant challenges, 2020-22 saw a successful pivot to new ways of working and an expansion of the scope, range and impact of work associated with the Fellowship role. New online research focused events were highly successful. I began running more formal online research seminar type events in autumn 2020, initially on a relatively small scale and run independently of UKiCE - and for a period when the Project Manager role was unfilled, also through the Wales Governance Centre. From autumn 2021 I developed new online events run through UKiCE branded as 'Research Insights' (as an element of a more closely structured relationship with UKiCE, see below). In general, UKiCE public events target general, policy, political and media audiences. Without losing sight of that wider appeal, Research Insights are intended to dig more deeply into the research evidence that underpins GaB and UKiCE. Research Insights proved an immediate success - attracting live virtual audiences of over 100 and later online access taking most over 500 views and some well over 1000. Overall, these online events have disseminated work from 10 GaB projects (8/10 first, 3/7 second wave projects), 3 Senior Fellows (SFs) and 5 other ESRC funded initiatives. Given that the Research Insights events were designed to be open to a wide public, I initiated a distinct Work in Progress mode to allow researchers to test research findings in private seminar events. The second, exceptional NCE to the Fellowship facilitated some ongoing work with second phase GaB projects and, critically, allowed for a final conference in November 2023 as a 'wrap' for the programme (although not all projects have yet been completed). The NCE provided finance for the conference. Since I no longer had office support for the Fellowship, or time funded under it, the conference was only possible due to organisational support from the UKiCE team, for which I am very grateful. I am also delighted that ESRC Executive Chair, Stian Westlake gave the Conference's opening keynote address and spoke in warm and engaging terms about both GaB and UKiCE. As well as attendance in person, the video of the event has been viewed more than 3500 times. Based significantly on my record as Fellow, I was approached by the UK Covid-19 Inquiry to act as an Expert Witness on Core Decision-Making for its Module 2B. That work - both the written expert report (https://covid19.public-inquiry.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/29175251/INQ000411927.pdf) (https://covid19.public-inquiry.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/29202152/C-19-Inquiry-29-February-2024-Module-2B-Day-3-1.pdf; https://youtu.be/GRNNAgV2cak) and my evidence in person - drew heavily on the expertise and experience I developed through the Fellowship. Once the Inquiry has published its initial report on Modules 1 and 2, due by the end of 2024, I will be in a better position to assess the impact of that work. The experience and expertise in this form of engagement and impact work is reflected in several outputs, including in the *Regional Studies* SI I edited from the BPGs https://doi.org/10.1080/00343404.2021.1950915 and for UKiCE in 2021 https://ukandeu.ac.uk/brexit-and-the-social-sciences-challenges-and-opportunities/. This work had an impact on the Royal Society of Edinburgh's reflections on the conceptualisation of impact and operationalisation of impact work across the UK university sector, from the RSE itself, by way of the funding councils, including Research England's work on the Research Excellence Framework to the internal practices and policies associated with impact in UK universities. I was invited to join the core working group of the RSE's 'Rethinking Policy Impact' project, which was subsequently given a small grant by the ESRC for this work (see https://rse.org.uk/expert-advice/rethinking-policy-impact; https://rse.org.uk/expert-advice/rethinking-policy-impact/#h-project-working-group; https://rse.org.uk/resources/resource/blog/taking-territoriality-seriously-policy-impact-at-different-government-levels/). My individual work as Leadership Fellow was both enhanced and supported/supplemented by a series of projects funded by the Legal Education Foundation on Brexit and Civil Society in Wales. The LEF funded work provided me with evidence of the views of organised Civil Society in Wales - and facilitated stakeholder meetings with UK and Welsh government institutions and officials. The LEF projects cooperated with sibling investments in Northern Ireland, Scotland and England - again making cross-territorial connections a key feature of the work. The Fellowship facilitated a series of follow-on developments. The PDRA position that was at one time associated with the Fellowship proved critical to sustaining the capacity for the Welsh Election Studies - both the emergency bid for WES for the 2019 general election and for the longer-term investment in WES 2021. It has also facilitated a small level of involvement of Wales based researchers and issues in the ESRC's new Centre on Inclusive Trade Policy. In a challenging context, I believe that, as the Leadershiip Fellow I achieved significant direct impact and supported, enabled and made a contribution to the achievement of networked impacts through GaB, UKiCE and wider research collaborations. Taken together, the body of work around the Fellowship put me in a distinctive position to identify issues and work across myriad changes in public policies, policy structures and the machinery of territorial government that are being made at the same time. Typically prosaic and detailed, taken together these changes amount to a basic change in structure of devolution and of UK governance more generally. The changes pull in a variety of different directions. Relatively few people recognise the scale of the changes that are underway. While, taken together they will unavoidably amount to a basic change, the character of the arrangements that will emerge has not yet been set. Equally, there is little or no evidence of an overall strategy - or even that any part of government has a synoptic view of the possible impact of changes that are being made. A distinctive body of research expertise that can support governments at all levels in making sense of these changes has been built up over recent years. The next few years will be critical in the reshaping of the UK territorial state after Brexit. Since key ESRC investments - such as the Between two Unions project - came to an end some time ago, there is a risk that UK academia may not be in a position to sustain this interdisciplinary and multi-territorial capacity over this critical period. |

| Impact | Improving understanding among Government Ministers and MPs of the institutional and culture dimensions of Intergovernmental Relations Q383 Robin Millar: Thank you, Chair. Gentlemen, good to see you this morning. ...Professor Dan Wincott, who has the Blackwell Law and Society Chair at Cardiff University School of Law and Politics, wrote an interesting article about the review and the proposals for a UK intergovernmental council. He basically talked about the importance of the language being used and how this is a very contested space. My simple question for you is: do you see this as helpful to you in your work, as Secretary of State and Minister? ... Q387 Robin Millar: In some ways, you have confirmed there one of Professor Wincott's observations: much as the deckchairs may have been rearranged from the old JMCs and previous intergovernmental relations, at the end of the day, this is going to boil down to co-operation and good will between all sides. That seems to be what you are saying. Simon Hart: By all sides, you mean the different Governments? Robin Millar: The different parties-exactly. The different Governments. Simon Hart: Yes. Although it is easy, and sometimes even tempting, to highlight the disagreements, the fact is that there are also an awful lot of areas of agreement. In a number of the big funding decisions that we will be taking-possibly around freeports, possibly around big infrastructure projects that are coming up and around some of the levelling-up and shared prosperity agenda-the relationship between ourselves, the Welsh Government, local authorities and others will be absolutely central; the success or failure of these things will be absolutely conditional on that co-operation. As I say, I think that six or seven times out of 10 it works quite well, but there are other occasions where it doesn't work quite so well. I think one of the examples earlier about the deliberate conflation of some of the funding announcements recently is one such example. There are plenty of good ones. Almost every morning, I have to sort of slap myself across the face, take a deep breath and say, "Right. Behave yourself. Do what's best, not what's popular." I do not always succeed, I regret to say, in my ambitions. |

| Description | Collaboration with Brexit Civil Society Forum, Wales - a partnership between the Wales Governance Centre (WGC, Cardiff University and the Wales Council for Voluntary Action (WCVA). |
| Organisation | Wales Civil Society Forum |
| Sector | Learned Society |
| PI Contribution | I was PI on a grant from The Legal Education Foundation (TLEF) to support the Civil Society Forum on Brexit - Wales ('the Forum') and I am CI on a follow-up grant that extended the project. This forum is a collaboration between the Cardiff University's Wales Governance Centre and the Wales Council for Voluntary Action - the peak membership organisation for the voluntary sector in Wales. The Forum has also engaged in further collaboration with sibling projects elsewhere in the UK. Its purpose is to inform and support debate among civil society organisation in Wales in relation to Brexit and to support preparation for Brexit related changes that will impact on the sector in Wales (where is it much more heavily exposed to potential loss of EU funding than anywhere else in the UK). The project has developed the following portfolio of activities -described in the impact section below. A follow-up grant (for which I was also PI) was been awarded by TLEF to the initial award for a collaborative event bringing together projects and partners working on the implications of Brexit for the third sector across various parts of the UK. Its main activity wasan event in Belfast May 2019. £21,000 secured from TLEF - Grant Aware dates: 18/12/18 to 30/06/2019. The project's Co-I is Prof Jo Hunt and its researcher/coordinator Charles Whitmore. My involvement in this project has supported and enriched my work on my Governance and Brexit Research Fellowship. The portfolio of ESRC research has not focused much on the implications of Brexit for Civil Society - while TLEF has offered support to a suite of projects in this area. The Fellowship funds 50% of my time - in my view it is critically important that I am able to devote the other 50% of my working time to active engagement in research and research related impact that is relevant to Brexit. My credibility as a research leader depends on it. If I am also able to bring in relevant areas that are not, for whatever reason, significantly covered off by ESRC/UKRI funded projects, that is an addition benefit. The project also builds on relationships developed with colleagues at WCVA in the context of my role as a CI in the WISERD-Civil Society ESRC Centre. |
| Collaborator Contribution | WCVA is a partner in this project. It has provided support for the project researcher and facilitated connections with civil society organisations across Wales. Anna Nicholl - Director of Strategy is the key contact point with WCVA. WCVA Chief Executive Ruth Marks and Director of Operations Phil Fiander have also participated through the Forum. |

| Organisation | National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO) |
| Country | United Kingdom |
| Sector | Charity/Non Profit |
| PI Contribution | As Director of Governance after Brexit and Research Director of UK in a Changing Europe I have collaborated with the NCVO's Brexit leads - first Brendan Costelloe and then Ben Westerman to set up an ongoing series of research briefings by ESRC funded researchers on Brexit Priority Grants/linked to UK in a Changing Europe to key professionals in third sector organisations based in London/across England. These briefings have been live-streamed to make them more accessible to people who were not able to attend in person. |
| Collaborator Contribution | Three briefings so far - Thomas Leeper on Public Attitudes and Brexit, Jonathan Portes on migration/immigration and Brexit, Simon Usherwood on planning for No Deal Brexit. |

| Organisation | The UK in a Changing Europe |
| Country | United Kingdom |
| Sector | Public |
| PI Contribution | Regular involvement in Strategic Leadership Team and general UK in a Changing Europe (UKICE) Team meetings, including planning and execution of UKICE events and publications. Taking primary responsibility for running some events (such as the Brexit and Gender event). Collaboration with devolution experts among the UKICE Senior Fellows. Coo-ordination with the Brexit Priority Grantholders. Effective co-investigation role on particular UKICE research projects - such as the 'GE 2019 Urgency Grant Project on 'Comfortable Leavers'. |
| Collaborator Contribution | UKICE is a highly distinctive and effective ESRC investment in public and policy engagement for the social sciences. It provides a platform for the public presence of the Governance after Brexit programme, and for my own more individual work through the fellowship. |
| Impact | A selection of work from this partnership includes the following: A host of engagement activities, including blogs, interviews with newspapers and podcasts or participation in events. Sustained engagement with Senior Fellows Profs Katy Hayward and Nicola McEwen (and with a group of other colleagues, including former Senior Fellow Pro Jo Hunt) in work on the Internal Market Bill over the summer and autumn of 2020 - involved engagement with UK, Scottish and Welsh Ministers and with senior policy officials. Role in the design and running of events, including leading on some events (eg Gender and Brexit event). Leading on collaborative academic research collaboration around UKICE, including organising and co-organising academic seminars (initially face-to-face, subsequently on-line) including around the Brexit Priority Grants, but also with other research including other ESRC funded research (such as Between Two Unions and WISERD, on which I am a co-I, but also, for example, with Brexit and Belonging and the Decision-Makers Panel) This work has generated academic outputs that I have edited, such as a Symposium in the Journal of Common Market Studies and a Special Issue of Regional Studies. These are multi-disciplinary collaborations including political scientists, policy analysts, socio-legal researchers and economists and agricultural economists. |

| PI Contribution | This event was a full programme meeting - bringing together projects from both its first and second phases. Due to delays in starting the second phase project - set by the ESRC in the light of the more complex and slow moving process of Brexit followed by the restrictions of Covid, this event was the only occasion on which it has proven possible to bring the full programme together. Four of the 17 projects were not represented. Two of the smaller 'innovation' projects from the first phase were unable to accept the invitation. Another two projects intended to participate, but personal circumstances intervened at a late stage. The event allowed broader lessons to be drawn out from across the two phases. The meeting facilitated collaboration among project teams on shared themes and across social science disciplinary boundaries. . |
| Collaborator Contribution | Contributions were made on public attitudes research, questions of migration, methods in and results of experimental survey and other public attitudes research, and qualitative, especially ethnomethodogical methods in research on Brexit. |
| Impact | Results are still in development. Disciplines include Economics, Political Science, Anthropology, Sociology, Legal and Socio-Legal Studies, Geography. |

| Country | United Kingdom |
| Sector | Academic/University |
| PI Contribution | A key role for my Fellowship is to nurture links between the academic community - included those funded under various initiatives associated UK in a Changing Europe (UKICE) - and that initiative core or hub. UKICE is very strongly oriented to impact and engagement work. Nevertheless, the credibility of the initiative rests on the quality of the academic research that underpins it. Moreover, researchers closely associated with UKICE have been under notably strong pressure to operate in ways that differ sharply in their rhythms from conventional academic life. Finally, partly as a consequence of working at high pressure, these researchers have extremely valuable perspectives and insights for academic research in their fields. I see my role as including the carving out opportunities to bring together researchers and develop publications - especially in high quality refereed journals - for groups of researchers. Following on from an application in a competitive process, I was invited to edit a symposium of the Journal of Common Market Studies JCMS - the leading interdisciplinary journal focused on the study of the EU. We held a symposium at Kings College in London for the four substantive papers to be submitted to JCMS on 27 February 2019. |

| Primary Audience | Public/other audiences |
| Results and Impact | Though some second phase projects were still live at the time of this event (and indeed are still live now), this conference served as the 'end of programme event' for Governance After Brexit. It brought together colleagues from projects across both programme phases to showcase the outcomes from basic research projects on how we make sense of Brexit and its impacts on key aspects of UK governance, across four themes. The event benefited from the programme's close partnership with the UK in a Changing Europe programme. A keynote introduction by the ESRC Executive Chair very effectively identified a commonly, but often misleadingly sharply held, distinction between basic research and applied, urgent or engaged research. The conference provides a showcase for 1) the value of deeply engaged research which, nonetheless, also operates to a longer-term (perhaps also 'slower paced') rhythm and 2) research which, relatedly, aims to make a fundamental and enduring contribution to the social sciences alongside its more immediate impacts beyond this research community. At the time of writing, the conference video has been viewed more than 3500 times. |

| Results and Impact | Professor Wincottt was part of an advisory group meeting for the 'Brexit: How Might Agriculture Survive or Thrive' project. This project aims to bring together information across a wide range of different areas: imports, exports, supply, demand, prices, to consider the potential implications. The researchers will investigate the interactions of these factors and the potential consequences of different policy scenarios. They aim to find out what the potential real effects could be for farming families: how resilient will their incomes be, how will their production decision making be affected, and what are the implications for UK agri-trade across the industry as a whole, for rural communities and for the consumer. This meeting helped to inform decisions regarding the project. |

| Results and Impact | Invited presentation to DLUHC Union and Devolution Directorate away day in Cardiff. The DLUHC team was interested in exploring attitudes in Wales, including the Welsh Government, towards the changing framework for UK territorial governance after Brexit. The event took place during the Conservative leadership campaign, and the team anticipated an unsettled future for their work. Essentially, they work looking for ideas about how to make the UK government's work in Wales more effective. I was able to offer some suggestions, albeit constrained by what appeared at the time as the abrasive setting of political relationships between UK and devolved governments. In particular, I suggested a focus on offering to collaborate with the Welsh Government on at least one major infrastructure investment in Wales. Given the constraints on devolved capacity for major infrastructure work in Wales, there is scope to engender a more cooperative spirit between the governments in this way. Perhaps it could build on earlier work on 'city deals'. |

That section conducts extensive survey work on attitudes to the Union. However, the framing of those surveys - typically looking to discover sources of support for the Union - means that it is problematic as a source of data on the pattern of public attitudes in Wales. The team showed great interest int he results from our more detached academic survey - especially as their evidence made the continuing electoral success of Labour in Wales difficult to understand. |

| Results and Impact | The process of leaving the EU polarised public opinion across Britain. 'Leave' and 'Remain' became strong identities that exercised a powerful influence on political attitudes and choices. Do these identities continue to shape British politics after Brexit? How do they exercise their influence? Are they fading? Faced with new choices after leaving the EU and the trade-offs inherent within them, what package of options do people in Britain prefer. How do people want Britain to use sovereignty it has regained after Brexit? The event draws on two ongoing ESRC-funded research projects: Professor Sara Hobolt will present on 'A Country Divided? Polarisation and identity after Brexit'. Professor John Curtice will present results from the deliberative polling undertaken for 'How Does Post-Brexit Britain wish to Exercise its Sovereignty? Dr Ceri Davies will introduce qualitative results from the project. |
