We mobilise the humanities and social sciences to ​understand the world and shape a brighter future .

From artificial intelligence to climate change, from building prosperity ​to improving well-being – today’s complex challenges can only be resolved by deepening our insight into people, cultures and societies.​

We invest in researchers and projects across the UK and overseas, ​engage the public with fresh thinking and debates, and bring together scholars, government, business and civil society to influence policy for ​the benefit of everyone. ​
