Mark Matthews works as a strategy advisor to governments, universities and non-profit organisations. He has worked both as an academic and as a management consultant specialising in public policy. He has additional experience in heading-up a government-funded policy unit located within a major university.

His current research focuses on governments’ distinctive role as uncertainty and risk manager of ‘last resort’ and the implications of this role for public sector reform. His contributions to the Crick Centre will focus on ways of improving public understanding of governments’ critically important role in handling the uncertainties and risks that markets and businesses cannot handle – and the specific implications for our understanding of strengths and weaknesses in political judgment.

Mark’s major qualifications include a B.A. (Hons) in Geography, an MSc. in Science, Technology and Industrialisation and a Doctorate (D.Phil) in Science and Technology Policy, all from the University of Sussex, UK.  He is the author of Transformational Public Policy: A New Strategy for Coping with Uncertainty and Risk. Routledge: Studies in Governance and Public Policy (to be published in July 2016).
