title=About PSI
publisher=The Policy Studies Institute] The current director of PSI is Malcolm Rigg.

The Institute presently undertakes qualitative and quantitative research in two broad areas: work and social policy, and the environment. The Institute is also a partner in a number of initiatives with other bodies, including the Green Fiscal Commission. PSI launched two journals, "Cultural Trends" and "Policy Studies", both of which are now published by Taylor & Francis. PSI takes a politically neutral stance on issues of public policy and has no connections with any political party, commercial interest or pressure group.

Leading researchers who have worked at the Institute include Mayer Hillman, Paul Ekins and Tariq Modood.
