Events

We hold weekly events that discuss, debate and uncover areas of policy that may not cross your mind. Whether it's a guest speaker from a presidential administration talking about what it takes to achieve social justice in the 21st century, an MP discussing how to drive innovation and tech forward in the UK, a former member of the Bank of England talking about monetary policy, or a student debate -- there is something for anyone wanting to learn about policy.

Amazing policy

experts

Each term, we invite leading experts to speak directly with our students about diverse policy areas. Over the course of our most recent terms, we have invited North Korean defector Timothy Cho, former POTUS Barack Obama’s spiritual advisor Keith Magee, Labour shadow cabinet member Chi Onwurah, and candidate for US Senate from Idaho Haneefah Khaaliq. By sharing their experiences in fields like education, human rights, and tech innovation, our speakers offer a wealth of knowledge to those interested in politics and policy.

By focusing on eight distinct policy areas, our events ensure that every speaker, debate, and collaboration highlights something new. This approach allows our members to explore a wide range of topics and ideas while expanding their personal interests. Consequently, we offer something for everyone, providing immense value regardless of a member's specific background or policy focus.

Add your voice

As a student-led think tank, we invite you to become an active participant in our community. Our network of student members is the driving force behind our events and the wider organization. All events are free to attend and are shaped by students who engage directly with policy-makers, debate critical issues with their peers, and participate in our annual policy competitions.

Warwick Think Tank also serves as a premier platform for academic and career development. For those seeking a career in policy, our workshops and events offer an ideal environment to develop a professional skillset for the future.
