The development of wind power in China, Europe and the USA: how have policies and innovation system activities co-evolved?
in Technology Analysis & Strategic Management
Description | 1. A joint UCL Lancet Commission on Healthy Cities on the role that urban planning can and should play in delivering health improvements through reshaping the urban fabric of our cities. 2. The UCL Carbon Governance Project provided new insights into addressing the human causes of climate change and the role governance can play in reducing carbon emissions. 3. A multidisciplinary project looking to provide a deeper understanding into the origin of life, bringing together a team of biologists, chemists and engineers. |
Exploitation Route | At the time of final report (June 2011) all three programmes are on-going with additional funding from UCL. |

Description | UCL-LANCET Commission published a report Shaping cities for health: complexity and the planning of urban environments in the 21st century Two reports on climate change governance and wind power in China, Europe and the US were published. A series of policy briefings were published, following a one-day event, Going Low-Carbon: The governance of climate change technologies, examining the practical implications for policymakers of low-carbon technologies and the role of public engagement. |

Title | Remote Quantum Computation App |
Description | This app enables a non-expert user to perform a simple quantum manipulation in real time from a handheld device, using a wireless link to a laboratory experiment on an ensemble of electron spins. |
Type Of Technology | Webtool/Application |
Year Produced | 2014 |
Impact | We have found the app is a powerful tool to raise awareness of the potential of quantum technologies, by demonstrating that near-ideal textbook manipulations of quantum systems can now be routinely performed on demand. |
