In this session, Professor Carlota Perez, Honorary Professor at IIPP, discusses her research for the EU Funded ‘BEYOND4.0’ project and looks at the different ‘mission-orientations’ taken by governments during previous transitions, countering technological determinism with an argument for the powerful role of both state and society in determining a trajectory for the diffusion of each revolution. Her aim is to help MOIN members unpick the narrative of technological transition, and provide a broader criteria than the ‘Industry 4.0’ shorthand for shaping politics and policy making.

It is with great pleasure that we invite you to register your attendance to ‘BEYOND4.0’ taking place Thursday 10 February at 10:30 am (GMT) here. 

The Green Mission event series is a 3-day online event series from 8 – 10 February, which following on from COP26 and its urgent mandate, is dedicated to the theme of mission-orientated policy to tackle the climate crisis.
