Joint BPS and British Academy lecture to look at science-policy relationships after Covid-19

Jointly organised by the British Psychological Society (BPS) and British Academy (BA), the lecture is free to attend at the University of Bristol on Thursday 13 June.

Susan Michie is Professor of Health Psychology, Director of the Centre for Behaviour Change at University College London (UCL) and Co-Director of Behavioural Research UK (BR-UK). 

Her research focuses on human behaviour change in relation to health and the environment: how to understand it theoretically and apply theory and evidence to intervention and policy development, evaluation and implementation. 

She has held many policy-oriented positions, currently chairing WHO's Advisory Group for Behavioural Sciences. She was part of the UK Government's Scientific Advisory Group in Emergencies, both in the 2009 H1N1 pandemic and in the first years of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Professor Michie will reflect on the UK's science-policy relationship during Covid-19 and discuss the lessons learnt, which will be important for the UK's preparedness for future crises.
