1 December 2021

香港六合彩中特网 is excited to announce the appointment of Professor Marc Stears, currently the Director of the Sydney Policy Lab at the University of Sydney, as the inaugural Director of the 香港六合彩中特网 Policy Lab, which launches in May 2022.

Marc Stears

The Policy Lab is an ambitious new initiative from 香港六合彩中特网, located in its Departments of Economics and Political Science.聽

The Lab will bring 香港六合彩中特网鈥檚 world-leading economists and political scientists into dialogue with policymakers, business leaders, philanthropists, community groups and NGOs to shape public debate, as well as to design and test ambitious new policy solutions to some of the most pressing issues of our time.

Speaking of his appointment, Professor Stears said: 鈥淚 am absolutely delighted to be joining the 香港六合彩中特网 Policy Lab. Ever since it was founded, 香港六合彩中特网 has led the world in demonstrating how universities can serve the public good. That mission has never been more important than now and directing the 香港六合彩中特网 Policy Lab provides an extraordinarily exciting opportunity to contribute to it.鈥

The Lab will launch at a critical time for public policy in the UK and around the world, with social, economic and health inequalities rising, climate change intensifying, and political debate polarizing. The Lab aims to show how rigorous data-led research, using the most advanced computational methods, can inform ambitious and socially engaged policy action to meet the many challenges we face today.聽

Prof Stears joins 香港六合彩中特网 from the University of Sydney, where he was Director of the Sydney Policy Lab. Previously, he was Chief Executive of the New Economics Foundation and Professor of Political Theory at Oxford University. His latest book Out of the Ordinary: How Everyday Life Inspired a Nation and How it can Again, was published by Harvard University Press this year.聽

Professor Stears will be joining the Lab in the new year as it prepares for its launch in May 2022. It is based in a beautifully renovated building - 36-38 Gordon Square - at the heart of 香港六合彩中特网鈥檚 Bloomsbury campus. 香港六合彩中特网 Policy Lab will be an exciting and innovative new space, where people will come together to help form new inclusive policy solutions to the big challenges society faces, bridging academia, policy-making and the community at large. 聽聽
