It receives most of its funding from the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, and provides funding and support for research and training work in the social sciences and economics, such as postgraduate degrees. StructureThe ESRC is based at Polaris House in Swindon, UK which is also the location of the head offices of several other UK Research Councils and Innovate UK. ESRC is part of United Kingdom Research and Innovation (UKRI)[1], an organisation that brings together the UK’s research councils, Innovate UK and Research England. UKRI is a non-departmental public body. MissionThe ESRC's mission, according to its website, is to:[2]
HistoryThe ESRC was founded in 1965 as the Social Science Research Council (SSRC - not to be confused with the Social Science Research Council in the United States). The establishment of a state funding body for the social sciences in the United Kingdom, had been under discussion since the Second World War;[3] however, it was not until the 1964 election of Prime Minister Harold Wilson that the political climate for the creation of the SSRC became sufficiently favourable. The first chief executive of the SSRC was Michael Young (later Baron Young of Dartington). Subsequent holders of the post have included Michael Posner, later Secretary General of the European Science Foundation. The current Chief Executive of the ESRC is [https://esrc.ukri.org/about-us/governance-and-structure/directors/jennifer-rubin/ Professor Jennifer Rubin] who took over from Professor Jane Elliott in October 2017.[4] Change of nameFollowing the election of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in the 1979 general election, the Government expressed reservations about the value of research in the social sciences, and the extent to which it should be publicly funded. In 1981, the Education Secretary Sir Keith Joseph asked Lord Rothschild to lead a review into the future of the SSRC.{{cn|date=November 2018}} It was ultimately decided (due in no small part to the efforts of Michael Posner, chief executive of the SSRC at the time[5]) that the Council should remain, but that its remit should be expanded beyond the social sciences, to include more 'empirical' research and research of 'more public concern'. To reflect this, in 1983 the SSRC was renamed the Economic and Social Research Council.[6] Notable people{{unreferenced|section|date=November 2018}}Chairman:
