Lunch Hour Lecture | Shaping Better Public Institutions

Our societies are shaped by public institutions – from parliaments to primary schools, regulators to ministries. But there’s a widespread perception that they have stopped evolving. While business and civil society have invented radically different organisational models- from Tiktok to Wikipedia – most public sector institutions look very similar to 30, 50 or 100 years ago. This lecture will diagnose the problem, share examples of more innovative approaches around the world tackling topics like climate change, mental health and AI, and describe how the next generation of institutions could be designed, making the most of ideas from computer science to biology as well as public administration. Originally streamed 10 June 2025 UCL's popular public Lunch Hour Lecture series has been running at UCL since 1942, and showcases the exceptional research work being undertaken across UCL. Lectures are free and open to all and since 2020 have been held online.
