The Nuffield Foundation is launching a major year-long events programme to mark our 80th anniversary and explore the big themes that will define our work in the future.
The programme – Changing lives for the better: priorities for the next 20 years - will enable us to consult with our stakeholders to identify the most pressing challenges facing society, determine the urgent research questions that need to be answered, and contribute to the creation of an new strategic direction for the Foundation in the run-up to our centenary.
Along with our centres, the National Council on Bioethics, the Nuffield Family Justice Observatory and the Ada Lovelace Institute, we will host a series of events on the societal, economic, scientific and technological shocks and opportunities that will influence the Foundation’s research and activities.
Beginning in July 2023, event topics include:
- AI and the public sector
- The future of work and skills
- Intersectionality
- The future of the justice system
- The interconnected challenges presented by climate change, migration, and place and inclusion
- Bioethics
We will also conduct a stakeholder survey to gather wider opinions to inform decision-making ahead of our next strategy.
Since 1943 the Foundation has demonstrated the power of evidence to change people’s lives for the better. Eighty years later, in a fast-changing world, our challenge is to reshape the Foundation’s original purpose for the second quarter of the 21st century. Through the events programme and stakeholder survey, we will identify urgent research questions about how society might work better, especially for the least advantaged, and we look forward to working with existing and new partners to determine a new direction for the Foundation.Tim Gardam, CEO
