With Matthew Taylor, chief executive, RSA

Respondent: David Willetts MP, Shadow Secretary of State for Innovation, Universities and Skills

Chair: Rachel O'Brien, interim director of Programme, RSA

Building on the theme of pro-social behaviour outlined in his inaugural speech in 2007, Matthew Taylor will explore the policy implications of our new understanding of neuroscience and social psychology. How does a greater understanding of how our brains work affect the kinds of public services we deliver? As we begin to know ourselves better, how does that affect our relationships with other people and society as whole? Join Matthew and invited guests for this fascinating exploration of our brains, our communities, and the future of the RSA.
