项目摘要

Led by Professor Anand Menon, the UK in a Changing Europe (UKICE) initiative aims to promote rigorous, high-quality and independent social science research and to provide an authoritative, non-partisan and impartial reference point for those looking for information, insight and analysis about the post-Brexit and post-COVID UK, including its external relations and the impacts on the UK of changes in the wider international system. UKICE achieves its aims primarily through: an active online presence (including social media, podcasts, video, and the publication of briefings, commentaries and blogs); a busy programme of events (conferences, briefings, roundtables, panel discussions); working closely with other ESRC Brexit-related investments, including the Senior Fellows, and the Governance after Brexit programme, and via the development of close and collaborative relations with a range of non-academic stakeholder groups. Now applying for its third phase of funding, UKICE has developed a reputation as the 'go to' place for timely and accessible research-based insights relevant to a host such groups, including politicians, civil servants, businesses, third sector organisations, the media and the public. It has gained a reputation as a reliable source of leading social scientists who can act authoritatively as trusted commentators, explaining often complex ideas in an intelligible and engaging fashion. In so doing, UKICE has enhanced the reputation of social science by demonstrating how a fact-based approach can inform public and political debate, and has had a major role in developing a significant presence for the ESRC in terms of relationships with the media and policy makers.While the objective in the first two phases of funding had been to promote research into UK-EU relationship, the post-Brexit context brings a need to widen this focus. The aim now is to retain the essential ingredients that have made UKICE so successful in its endeavours, but to broaden the substantive lens, and thereby its potential contribution to the wider understanding of not only developments within the UK but also the country's changing international position. UKICE has had to adapt to several different phases as the Brexit process altered in nature. During the period leading up to and during the referendum campaign, much of UKICE's activity was public-facing, providing clear and accessible information for voters. Following the referendum, significant time was devoted to regular private briefings for MPs and civil servants as they wrestled with the complexities of leaving the EU. With EU membership and the subsequent transition period having ended, there is a need for further adaptation in terms of both methods and substance, with an expanded research agenda. Specifically, while the Brexit process (referendum, withdrawal, transition) was the inevitable focus of activity in recent years, UKICE's potential contribution going forwards lies in addressing the broader consequences of both Brexit and the global COVID-19 pandemic on the UK itself and its place in, and engagement with, the world beyond its borders.This application is to recommission the UKICE Director's Hub at King's College London for a further three years from May 2022. The intentions are: to provide enhanced capacity both for outputs and for enhanced (academic and non-academic) stakeholder engagement by expanding the team; to expand our portfolio of published outputs, including research on areas beyond the Brexit process, creating in the process a wider network of social scientists from a broader range of institutions and disciplines, including from beyond the UK; to maintain our high-profile events programme; and to do more to encourage participation from early career researchers and from academic and non-academic collaborators overseas.

在阿南德·梅农教授的领导下，英国在变化的欧洲（UKICE）倡议旨在促进严谨、高质量和独立的社会科学研究，并为那些寻求有关英国脱欧后和后covid英国的信息、见解和分析的人提供权威、无党派和公正的参考点，包括其对外关系以及更广泛的国际体系变化对英国的影响。UKICE主要通过以下方式实现其目标：活跃的在线存在（包括社交媒体、播客、视频以及简报、评论和博客的出版）；活动安排繁忙（会议、简报、圆桌会议、小组讨论）；与ESRC其他与英国脱欧相关的投资密切合作，包括高级研究员和英国脱欧后的治理计划，并通过与一系列非学术利益相关者团体建立密切的合作关系。现在正在申请第三阶段的资助，UKICE已经发展成为一个“去”的地方，及时和可访问的基于研究的见解与东道国这些团体相关，包括政治家，公务员，企业，第三部门组织，媒体和公众。它已经赢得了声誉，成为领先社会科学家的可靠来源，这些科学家可以作为权威的、值得信赖的评论员，以一种易懂、引人入胜的方式解释往往复杂的观点。在这样做的过程中，UKICE通过展示基于事实的方法如何为公共和政治辩论提供信息，提高了社会科学的声誉，并在发展ESRC与媒体和政策制定者的关系方面发挥了重要作用。虽然资助的前两个阶段的目标是促进对英国-欧盟关系的研究，但英国脱欧后的背景需要扩大这一重点。现在的目标是保留使UKICE在其努力中如此成功的基本要素，但要扩大实质性的镜头，从而为更广泛地了解英国内部的发展以及该国不断变化的国际地位做出潜在贡献。随着英国脱欧进程的本质改变，英国移民局不得不适应几个不同的阶段。在公投前和公投期间，UKICE的大部分活动都是面向公众的，为选民提供清晰易懂的信息。公投结束后，政府花了大量时间为议员和公务员定期举行私人简报会，以应对脱欧的复杂性。随着欧盟成员资格和随后的过渡期的结束，需要在方法和内容方面进行进一步的适应，并扩大研究议程。具体来说，虽然英国脱欧进程（公投、退出、过渡）是近年来不可避免的活动焦点，但英国海关和移民服务局未来的潜在贡献在于解决英国脱欧和全球COVID-19大流行对英国自身及其在境外世界的地位和参与的更广泛后果。该申请是为了从2022年5月起重新委托伦敦国王学院的UKICE主任中心，为期三年。其目的是：通过扩大团队，为产出和加强（学术和非学术）利益相关者的参与提供增强的能力；扩大我们的出版成果组合，包括对英国脱欧进程以外领域的研究，在此过程中创建一个更广泛的社会科学家网络，来自更广泛的机构和学科，包括来自英国以外的社会科学家；维持我们的高知名度活动计划；并进一步鼓励早期职业研究人员以及海外学术和非学术合作者的参与。
