Sunday, September 27, 9:30am - 10:30am (EDT)

Time shown in-04:00 America, New York

Science, innovation and technology are not just areas of competitive advantage for the UK, they are a path to good growth and national renewal. Launching a ‘British Nobel Prize’ is one practical idea that would enable the UK to harness and reward the best talent and ideas, wherever they come from, in service of solving big societal challenges.

Join Nesta and Challenge Works at this year’s Labour Party Conference to discuss why we should launch a ‘British Nobel Prize.’ Our expert panel will be chaired by Joe Owen, director of policy and government partnerships at Nesta and includes Tris Dyson, founder and executive director of Challenge Works and Iain Bundred, director of policy and public affairs at the BBC.
