Innovating Across Sectors (IaS) program

Summary

The Innovating Across Sectors (IaS) research program examines the challenges of partnering across sectors to provide public goods such as healthcare. IaS research studies focus on newly-formed partnerships between the public sector (government services and systems) and the third sector (i.e. community, nonprofit organizations, open source networks and databanks). IaS further focuses on examining those partnerships where new digital technologies (platforms, artificial intelligence), often created by the private sector, have a prominent role. IaS leverages an interdisciplinary research team funded by UKRI FLF’s award to the Principal Investigator Dr. Aristidou and strategic collaborations with MIT, Stanford and Cornell academics
 
 
 

Relevance

We aim to address important questions of how these new innovative partnerships emerge, how they can be sustainable, to understand their intended and unintended consequences for various stakeholders and how these are regulated or managed in real-life settings.
