Can social sciences save the world?

The Policy Institute at King's College London works to solve society’s challenges with evidence and expertise.

The Policy Institute

From climate change and immigration to inequality and the rise of populism, the world is facing significant challenges. But can social science help?
Part of the ESRC Festival of Social Sciences at King’s College London, this event will see leading experts discuss how social science is illuminating our understanding of some of today’s biggest issues and helping to improve the world we live in.

Guest arrival from 18.45. This event will be followed by a drinks reception (covered by the Policy Institute)
This is a free event, which means we overbook to allow for no-shows and to avoid empty seats. While we generally do not have to turn people away, this does mean we cannot guarantee everyone a place. Admission is on a first come, first served basis.
Please note we may video and take photos at the event for our own internal and external marketing purposes – if you would prefer not to be featured, please let us know in advance or make yourself known to a member of the events team on the night.

8th floor,  Bush House (North Side)
