Should wellbeing be pursued as a policy objective, and if so, how can it be effectively implemented?
Which interventions effectively enhance wellbeing, and how long does their impact last?

The Future of Wellbeing

How will the future of work influence wellbeing?
What is the optimal approach to encode algorithms that prioritize human-centric AI for maximising wellbeing?

The Centre's objectives for conducting high-end research are supplemented by its impactful outcomes. Their research team actively contributes to reports, policy development, and interventions aimed at improving lives in the long term. Additionally, the Centre frequently provides commentary and feedback on its work across prominent media platforms.
