Do we need a new generation of public institutions for science, technology and innovation?

Public institutions for science and technology have hardly changed over half a century; even the UK’s most recent creation, ARIA, is consciously modelled on a US institution founded in the 1960s. But there is much to learn from other sectors that have innovated far more, including business. The deep institutional conservatism of public science may be one factor behind the continuous decline of R&D productivity. This talk from Sir Geoff Mulgan, Professor of Collective Intelligence, Public Policy and Social Innovation, UCL STEaPP & Co-founder, The Institutional Architecture Lab (TIAL), provides a diagnosis, shares alternative ways of thinking being used by some governments around the world, and points to a potentially very different institutional landscape for science and technology in the 2030s.
