University College London

Centre for the Study of Decision-Making Uncertainty  is hosted at the Faculty of Brain Sciences of the University College London and brings together cross-disciplinary teams from among UCL’s world class academic staff in all faculties. They undertake fundamental research and teaching focused on human responses to uncertainty – which is seen as at the core of many of the complex intellectual and policy challenges which have become widely apparent since the Global Financial Crisis of 2007-9. The centre aims to develop new theories of decision-making starting from the position that although economic actors are regularly required to make long-term commitments to action they can only guess the long-term consequences of their actions in advance.
