Description

Science, research and innovation have transformed businesses, healthcare, environmental management, international development and a range of public services in countries around the world. This module will explore the policy framework within which governments support research and innovation and the ways in which governments use such expertise to pursue policy objectives. The module is taught and guided by faculty members with high-level experience in policy professions and by senior academics. As the opportunities ushered in by science, research and innovation continue to expand riding on new frontiers in the life sciences, the global shift to clean growth, population mobility and aging society, the rise in artificial intelligence and data revolution, among others 鈥� this entails dynamic changes and complexity in the practice of scientific research, and equally in the governance of research and innovation at different levels.

This Module aims to fill a gap in the capacities that are required to manage the dynamic and complex challenges and opportunities surrounding scientific research and innovation programmes in different parts of the world. Delivered through interactive, focused lectures complemented by hands-on sessions using a mix of theories and concepts to analyse and understand historical and future cases, this Module aims to produce scholars who will work as world-class professionals in the domain of science, research and innovation as policy makers, funders, brokers, evaluators or implementers of strategies or programmes.
