SRU Annual Lecture 2010

The Social Research Unit is delighted to announce this years Annual Lecture, Better outcomes for less money: techniques for children’s policymakers to make good choices in times of scarcity, to be given by Steve Aos on Thursday, June 17, 2010.

The event, which is free, will open with a reception at 5pm at the Commonwealth Club (25 Northumberland Avenue, London, WC2N 5AP) followed by the lecture from 6-8pm in the Commonwealth Club's auditorium.
 
Steve Aos is the Assistant Director of the pioneering Washington State Institute for Public Policy, the non-partisan research arm of the Washington State legislature in the United States.
 
As knowledge about evidence-based public policies accumulates – and as the economics of the options are better understood – public policy makers can increasingly have access to information that will promote better outcomes at less total cost. In the next decade, flexible governments will find ways to take advantage of this growing body of evidence. In his lecture, Aos will describe the strategy Washington State is taking to achieve these goals.

We very much hope that you will join us for what will be an important and engaging learning opportunity at a time when such knowledge has never been more relevant.
