At the same time, rapid digital advancements are reshaping where we live and work, raising important questions about governance, security, and equity.
So, what can we do about it? Scientists and engineers are developing solutions, from cleaner energy and smarter resource use to digital innovation, stronger health systems, and more sustainable cities. But to really make a difference, we need good policies that support these innovations. That’s where the Department of Science, Technology, Engineering and Public Policy (STEaPP) at University College London (UCL) comes in.
