Public Policy and Innovation

The Public Policy and Innovation department of the Institute of Public Administration focuses on shaping, implementing, and evaluating policy through innovative approaches. Our goal is to tackle complex societal challenges by exploring technological advancements and creative policy tools.

We focus on three key themes: promoting innovation within public organisations to address policy challenges, ensuring ethical considerations and social justice in the innovation process, and examining the impact of innovation on environmental and social sustainability.

With three active research centres—the Centre for Public Values and Ethics, the The Hague Centre for Digital Governance, and the Centre for Governance of Sustainability—we provide valuable insights that contribute to more effective and responsive public policy-making.
