UCL Department of Science, Technology, Engineering and Public Policy (STEaPP) mobilises science, technology, engineering and policy expertise to help change the world for the better.
The department is also home to the International Public Policy Observatory (IPPO), a £2 million ESCRC funded centre that brings together research and policy to mitigate the social harms of COVID-19 and accelerate the UK’s recovery.
The Policy Impact Unit (PIU) in the department provides professional policy engagement expertise and skills to help increase the use of research-based evidence by policymakers.
