The programme aims to develop the next generation of world-leading interdisciplinary scholars in the economics of innovation, innovation policy and its governance. A key goal of the programme is to prompt doctoral researchers to blend and synthesise different disciplinary tools to offer truly interdisciplinary analysis on how innovation can be harnessed to tackle global challenges.

Our research programme is driven by three cross-cutting themes: innovation, public value and inclusive growth. Our current streams explore the following areas:

  • Public value and public purpose
  • Governance and digital transformation
  • The state's role in technological revolutions
  • Green economy for sustainable growth
  • Mission-oriented innovation policy
  • Patient finance, state investment banks and public finance
  • Rethinking health innovation
  • Risks and rewards
  • Space partnerships for mutualistic innovation eco-systems

A minimum of an upper second-class UK Bachelor's degree and a Master's degree, or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard, in a relevant subject, is essential. Exceptionally: where applicants have other suitable research or professional experience, they may be admitted without a Master's degree; or where applicants have a lower second-class UK Honours Bachelor's degree (2:2) (or equivalent) they must possess a relevant Master's degree to be admitted. We expect any successful application to include a sufficiently strong and convincing proposal, and those holding a Master's degree are typically well prepared to provide one. Relevant work experience is highly desirable.
