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. The mission of IIPP is to change how public value is imagined, practiced and evaluated to tackle societal challenges—and, by doing this, deliver economic growth that is innovation-led, sustainable and inclusive. We help global policy makers discover better solutions to complex problems — in areas like industrial strategy, innovation policy, economic development, and institutional design. IIPP is founded and directed by Mariana Mazzucato, who holds the Chair in the Economics of Innovation and Public Value. Deputy Director of IIPP Rainer Kattel is Professor of Innovation and Public Governance. Our team brings together an interdisciplinary group of cutting edge academics and practitioners with global experience. The institute is based around four core areas: 1. New research for a new movement 2. Training the next generation of leaders 3. Global Policy Impact 4. Engaging the public.
IIPP has a dynamic faculty and policy team who directly engage with policy actors, governments and civil servants to co-develop and co-learn new approaches to shifts policies that can shift the current economic paradigm, with a real focus on practice. Through Applied Learning, IIPP creates bespoke programmes for public sector organisations, government departments, policymakers and civil servants to equip participants with skills and insights to build innovative, inclusive, and sustainable organisations and to shift how policies are designed and implemented. These programmes are a mix of online and in person delivery, which ranges from a few weeks to several months and with varied delivery tools (lecture, seminars, workshops, discovery sessions, prototyping sessions, etc). Recent work include programmes for the UN FAO and the Ministry of Agriculture in Rwanda and the Peruvian Innovation Agency ProInnovate. With a growing ambition and high demand, new formats of applied learning are currently being developed, including open enrollement modules. The Applied Learning team is integrated in a wider policy engagement function at IIPP, which includes internal and external collabortions with the Mission Oriented Innovation Network (MOIN), and in the life of the institute, particularly through the MPA student placement programmes and through the public engagement series
The Applied Learning (AL) and Stakeholder Manager will be leading the delivery of IIPP’s suite of AL projects with local, national, and international partners. The candidate will be involved in projects across their full duration, from initial planning stages through to successful delivery and final reporting. In addition, this role will be involved in the development and delivery of varied acvities that relates to policy and stakeholder engagement, including coordinating the student placement programme with our public sector partner organisations, supporting the delivery of engagement events, and other acvities related to IIPP Policy work, and MOIN network. The role would suit someone with experience in coordinating the delivery of learning activities or programmes of engagement for policymakers and varied stakeholder groups (ideally with international partners), with good project management skills and with an interest developing broader knowledge and experience in this field.
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.
As London’s Global University, we know diversity fosters creativity and innovation, and we want our community to represent the diversity of the world’s talent. We are committed to equality of opportunity, to being fair and inclusive, and to being a place where we all belong. We therefore particularly encourage applications from candidates who are likely to be underrepresented in UCL’s workforce. These include people from Black, Asian and ethnic minority backgrounds; disabled people; LGBTQI+ people; and for our Grade 9 and 10 roles, women
