As a world-leading research centre focused on bringing about societal impact and the progress of humanity, our mission is to accelerate the development of urgently needed policies and practices to tackle society’s greatest challenges.
We are inspired by the Science Policy Research Unit’s (SPRU) founder, Chris Freeman, who emphasised that humanity’s quest for knowledge could find solutions through innovation for even the most difficult problems.
Our societal impact will be achieved through world-leading, action-oriented research and stakeholder engagement.
