Partnership

 

With a passion for promoting the use of evidence-based and data-driven approaches to solve societal challenges, we have supported several hackathon initiatives. We have also established partnerships with research and independent media organizations to further extend our reach into policy discussions.

Cambridge Policy Hackathon

The Cambridge Policy Hackathon (CPH) brings students, researchers, and young professionals from multidisciplinary teams to develop evidence-based policies and/or tools to tackle the most pressing societal issues. It aims to unify academia, public institutions, businesses, and emerging talent in making informed, impactful policy decisions.

 

ICA 2026 Pre-conference Hackathon

 

The ICA Pre-conference Hackathon is a two-day hands-on workshop held before the annual meeting of the International Communication Association (ICA). It aims to build an open, collaborative, and supportive community across communication subfields using computational and “big data” approaches. Organised by the Computational Methods Division and the Communication Science and Biology interest group of the ICA, the hackathon emphasises collective learning, sharing, and collaboration rather than competition.

 

MIT Science Policy Review

The MIT Science Policy Review is a researcher-run publication founded in 2019 whose primary purpose is to publish accessible and authoritative peer-reviewed science policy papers on topics at the cutting edge of science and society. Additionally, the MIT Science Policy Review aims to be a resource for local, state, federal, and international policymakers who are involved in the creation and funding of science policies, especially those that are highly technical in subject matter.

Europinion

Europinion Group is an independent media collective committed to promoting honest and impactful conversations on the challenges and opportunities facing our world today. It brings together diverse voices and perspectives, creating a platform where ideas can be shared freely and without compromise.

As we expand, we are looking to partner with more organisations working on computational methods, AI safety, technological governance, and public policy. If you are a part of such an organisation or know someone, we would like to talk to you at ocpsg@politics.ox.ac.uk.

 

Please note that OCPSG does not support, endorse, sponsor, or partner with commercial or unverified honorary award schemes. While we are affiliated with the Department of Politics and International Relations, we do not represent the Department or the University as a whole. If you have any questions about our official partnerships, please contact us.

Sponsorship

We are currently seeking sponsors who could support our mission and help us in advancing research on AI, policy, and computational social science. Your support will allow us to expand our capacity-building initiatives and various events, including roundtables with policy stakeholders, hackathons and conferences.

If you would like to discuss sponsorship opportunities and arrangements to support our work, reach out to us at ocpsg@politics.ox.ac.uk.
