Episode Synopsis "Two cultures: can policy makers and academic institutions ever work together effectively?"
David Cleevely was appointed the Centre for Science and Policy’s Founding Director in 2008. As co-founder of networking organisations such as Cambridge Network, Cambridge Wireless and Cambridge Angels, David brought a unique perspective to the age-old issue of the exchange of insights between Policy Makers and Academic Institutions. The result was a unique organisation based on networking between peers, rather than attempting to formulate policy directly. Now, ten years on, David is standing down after completing his term as the inaugural Chair of CSaP’s Advisory Council. To honour David’s foundational contribution, we are inviting people who have played a significant part in the CSaP’s development over the past ten years to join with us in celebrating David’s achievements.
