The Bennett School of Public Policy (formerly the Bennett Institute for Public Policy) was launched in April 2018.

In addition to conducting academic and policy research, it is expanding the portfolio of public policy education and training offered at the University of Cambridge. It was based at the department of Politics and International Studies (POLIS) at the University of Cambridge. In August 2025, the Bennett School of Public Policy was established as an independent department within the University of Cambridge, continuing the mission and research work of the Bennett Institute for Public Policy.

CSaP is collaborating with the Bennett Institute and Churchill College on providing professional development opportunities for mid-career to senior academics in science and engineering in particular.
