Nice article Andrew, but agree with Mat. As you know I’m less enamoured with academia and even places like Beggruen are all top down with too many theorists. I read something in FT bemoaning the lack of reality of many political ideas which just aren’t doable. I like some of these citizens assembly type things but with multiple stakeholders including, especially young people. Maybe it’s a process thing as much as getting some pointy heads and giving them an office?

We do need the boundary transcending research and praxis. But is it another formal institute situated in a decaying centre of academia or more a coherence in coordinated collaboration of the existing institutes and networks that are already out there? Creating a new vs exaptation of what exists? What are the conditions we need for this coherence?

An intergenerational cocreation and more of an open innovation orientation is also important here. Have we asked our children?
