The Centre for Inclusive Trade Policy is a major new research centre funded by an £8m grant from the Economic and Social Research Council. It aims to equip the UK with the capability to formulate and implement a trade policy tailored to the needs of the whole of the UK.

Trade Justice Wales is a pilot project funded by a one-year Innovation for All grant by Cardiff University led by Fair Trade Wales and a team of researchers from the Wales Governance Centre to elevate the voice of Welsh civic society in the formulation of the UK’s emerging trade policy by providing a coordinating role and training opportunities.
