About York Student Think Tank (YSTT)

We are a student run think tank at the University of York. We aim to offer our members an unrivalled opportunity to develop skills and experience the world of policy-making from the inside. It is a non-partisan and welcoming way of engaging with politics.

We write policy papers about current issues in collaboration with other student organisations, NGO’s, and private or public institutions. As a member of YSTT you have the opportunity to contribute to:

- Cortado Weekly (our weekly newsletter informing members of the latest in policy and society news!)
- The Purple Pudding (a termly collaboration journal with the Warwick Think Tank)
- Policy Papers (our own policy papers published twice a year)

We offer free training when it comes to writing, hosting workshops throughout the term. We even have an online course in production; episodes will be released soon! These aim to improve the professional opportunities of our members.

We also host a variety of discussions as coming up with policy recommendations is one of the most important parts of policy-writing. We meet twice a week for Socrates Cafe (offline on Wednesdays and online on Saturdays), and host speaker events such as Prof. Sir John Elliott on separatism in Catalonia and Scotland.

For more information, feel free to reach out to us on Facebook, our email, or our website on ystt.co.uk
