The UK’s innovation agency Nesta has moved its Welsh operation into Cardiff University’s new social sciences campus as it focuses on a 10 year strategy seeking to address some of society’s biggest issues from decarbonisation to inequality.
Nesta, an independent endowment-funded charity, works with partners across academia and the public, private and third sectors to design, test and scale new ideas. Its three missions are to give every child a fair start, help people live healthy lives, and create a sustainable future where the economy works for both people and the planet.
Nesta Cymru’s team of 13 has co-located alongside 400 social science researchers at Cardiff University’s recently opened new sbarc/spark, building - having been based at nearby at Park Place.
