A total of six academics from across UCL have been named among the 100 most influential in government by Apolitical, the peer-to-peer learning platform for government. The list recognises researchers whose work has influenced the policymaking process by providing insights into issues, contributing innovative ideas and solutions or adding relevant and informative data. This year's list, nominated by public servants, focuses on five policy areas: recovery from Covid-19; employment and skills; social policy; climate and sustainability; and policymaking processes and approaches. Dr Priti Parikh (UCL Bartlett School of Sustainable Construction) was recognised for her research on the benefits of providing water, sanitation and energy infrastructure in low-middle income countries. Her research has influenced policy and practice, particularly around evidencing links between infrastructure and the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
