ABOUT US

The Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose (IIPP) is a department within UCL and part of The Bartlett faculty, known internationally for its radical thinking about space, design and sustainability. We are at an exciting point in history, with radical thinking emerging in economics and policy-making. By offering a new approach where public and private sectors can meet – and focusing minds on public value and mission-oriented policies – we can solve 21st-century challenges, collaboratively. The work of the UCL Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose (IIPP) is influencing global policy decisions and creating new policy collaborations to deliver public value-driven innovations. IIPP brings together an interdisciplinary group of cutting-edge academics and practitioners to influence global policy decisions and create new policy collaborations. Our mission is to change how public value is imagined, practised and evaluated to tackle societal challenges—and, by doing this, to deliver economic growth that is innovation-led, sustainable, and inclusive.

The role will involve strategic design and implementation for the program on the economics of the ecological transition in the UK, including working on the design of a green Industrial Strategy that goes beyond energy, and the implementation of mission-oriented policies to support this work. This includes: A deep dive on the economics of the green investment and the green multiplier, with a focus on how the green transition can support growth. Policy projects to advise on the design of tools and institutions that will support the green transition, including the National Wealth Fund, HM Treasury’s evaluation and accounting approaches (including the Green Book and Fiscal Rules), procurement, public/private contracts and the role of monetary policy and financial regulation in supporting the transition.
