IIPP's Forum 2025 - Rethinking the State
The Rethinking the State Forum is UCL IIPP’s flagship annual event, convening global thinkers, policymakers, students, and practitioners to examine how states can build the capacity to drive inclusive, green, and digital transformations. Taking place from 18–20 June 2025, the Forum offers a space for critical reflection and exchange on the evolving role of the state in tackling today’s complex challenges. Through public panels, interactive workshops, and cross-sector dialogues, the event explores themes such as decolonising public administration, rebuilding public institutions, and reconfiguring governance for the common good.
Max is a PhD student at UCL-IIPP, researching public-private relations in the New Space Economy. His doctoral project is supervised by Prof. Mariana Mazzucato (UCL-IIPP) and Prof. Alan Smith (Department of Space and Climate Physics). He holds a BA in European Studies from Maastricht University's Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASoS) and a double-degree MSc. in Public Policy & Human Development (Specialized in the Governance of Innovation) from UNU-MERIT and Maastricht University.
