About this event
This is the inaugural lecture of Professor Xavier Jaravel. It is part of a series of inaugural lectures at LSE that provides an opportunity to celebrate the achievements of new professors.
Innovation is increasingly monopolized by a small entrepreneurial elite that is not representative of the population at all.
To simultaneously increase our innovation potential and reduce inequality, it is urgent to involve everyone, especially women and people of underprivileged backgrounds, in the innovation process, from the creation of technologies to their widespread dissemination. What do we know and what should we do to find the “Lost Marie Curies” and “Lost Einsteins” and give them their chance?
Join us for Xavier Jaravel's inaugural lecture to find out the answers to these questions.
Chair: Professor Nava Ashraf
