Centre for Deliberative Research

We generate evidence to inform, engage with and transform complex social issues, drawing on the principles of deliberative democracy.

The Centre for Deliberative Research generates evidence that policy makers and citizens can use to inform, engage with and transform complex social issues. We do this by helping people and institutions have conversations with the right information, time and conditions to enable the public to play a more significant role in solving the biggest problems facing our society. The Centre works in the context of democratic innovation and draws on the principles of deliberative democracy to shape what we do and the impact it can have.
