Nesta is an innovation foundation. For us, innovation means turning bold ideas into reality and changing lives for the better. We use our expertise, skills and funding in areas where there are big challenges facing society.
Intern, Policy and Research
Zoé was a policy research intern. She worked with Madeleine Gabriel in the Public and Social Innovation team.
Zoé has just graduated from an MSc in Science and Technology Studies at UCL, following an undergraduate in Anthropology and Sociology (Goldsmiths). She has carried out qualitative research on the London digital startup eco-system, and on a number of other topics relating to the recent history and sociology of technology, medicine, and public policy.
Before happily qualifying in the social sciences, Zoe’s first love was food. She worked as a professional chef in the UK and abroad, and was briefly cheesemonger to HM the Queen.
We extend our impact through two specialised units that help people and organisations to solve complex problems and achieve their goals.
BIT helps clients from government, nonprofits and the private sector to improve people’s lives through our empirical problem solving and deep understanding of human behaviour.
Challenge Works designs and runs challenge prizes to spark innovation in science, technology and society.
Join our mailing list to receive the Nesta Edit, our regular newsletter showcasing how we design, test and scale solutions to some of society's biggest challenges, with updates from Nesta, BIT, Challenge Works and the wider innovation sector.
