So very excited to be working with Wellcome to explore creative approaches to policy with dream team Lisa Grocott Michael Mintrom All the projects are brilliant! Ours is called the Tomorrow Party 😁 thetomorrowparty.com

So excited to be on the team working on this with Wellcome and three other fabulous projects 🤠

Could robots enhance our public space? Join our affiliate Shanti Sumartojo along with Ilya Fridman, as they explore this question by experimenting with robots in AR, and then moving from the digital to the analog world. Date: 15 Dec 2023 Register at events.humanitix.com/futures-at-the…

Loved working on this project with Michaela F Prescott and other Monash Art, Design and Architecture colleagues - and of course with the support of the wonderful @MonashDFI 😃

With Lisa Grocott and Michael Mintrom I'm really looking forward to presenting our Tomorrow Party at this London event - the other projects are super and the Wellcome team has been amazing to collaborate with. If you work in policy or want to influence it, grab a ticket!

In this new piece 🎊 Michael Mintrom Lisa Grocott & Shanti Sumartojo introduce and pilot a design method called Tomorrow Party, for generating novel stakeholder insights regarding desirable future states. Check it Policy Design and Practice below! tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

A wonderful book by a wonderful person- congratulations to Dr Angharad Closs Stephens 🤠
