Transforming Innovation: Science and Technology for Social Needs

As part of Science Policy Research Unit’s 50^th anniversary in 2016, they will be hosting a major conference from at the University of Sussex. The conference will also be complemented by a full programme of activities to celebrate 50 years of SPRU.

Over three days, based on the overarching theme of ‘Transforming Innovation’ we will bring together leading thinkers from business, academia and civil society to explore the future of innovation policy.

The first day of the conference will be more policy and practitioner focused, with the second and third days as the academic conference. Participants are encouraged to attend all three days.
