Centre for Ideas and The Economy

Ideas are central to economic productivity and the competitiveness of economies. This is as true for ideas from management and social sciences as it is for basic science and technology.

Paramount in this is the quality of ideas. The Centre for Ideas and the Economy is dedicated towards the generation, evaluation and dissemination of new ideas. Its aim is to improve the quality of ideas employed in business and public policy.
