The CITP Inaugural Academic Conference
20-21 April 2023
University of Sussex, Brighton, UK
The Centre for Inclusive Trade Policy (CITP), the first centre dedicated to trade policy to be funded by the Economic and Social Research Council, is built on the precept that trade policy should be inclusive in both policy formulation and outcome and focuses on four dimensions of inclusiveness: geography, political domains, society and generations. The Centre comprises scholars from economics, law, business management, politics and international relations and at all stages of their careers, and is committed to listening to the voices of all parts of UK society.
Formulating an effective trade policy that delivers something for all parts of society in such circumstances requires an evidence-based interdisciplinary approach, which the Centre aims to provide.
Our annual Academic Conference aims to provide a platform for all trade policy researchers, from a variety of different disciplines and areas of interest to come together to present, discuss and learn about the latest thinking on trade and trade policy.

The city of Brighton and Hove - a (sunny) seaside city is famous for its beach, shops and nightlife. Dynamic and cosmopolitan, it’s the city’s sense of inclusivity that we hope to share with conference attendees.
