We are developing innovative ways of connecting the voices of ordinary citizens to political decision-making through participatory and deliberative approaches to citizen engagement.

We investigate the role of public deliberation in highly polarised and post-crisis contexts, working closely with governments, organisations, and communities to build democratic resilience.

We provide intellectual leadership in advancing theoretical debates and methodological innovations in deliberative democracy.

We are advocating for meaningful global citizen deliberation on urgent and emerging global issues – from climate change to genome editing.

We are rethinking how human institutions, practices, and principles can develop a productive relationship with the Earth system.
