The cluster Decision-Making for Policy (DEMAP) at Middlesex University brings together academics, graduate students, and policy stakeholders to discuss and evaluate how people’s decisions affect their current and future well-being. The purpose of DEMAP is to promote quantitative studies on how and why individuals make choices in the way they do and how these affect their social, economic, and political context. Our vision for this cluster is that a multidisciplinary approach to decision-making will bring long-term sustainable, fair, and inclusive design policy solutions.
