Future society

Social cohesion & resilience | Democratic innovation
Society is changing rapidly, challenged by huge demographic change such as ageing populations and growing ethnic diversity, climate change and new technologies. Democracy is under threat by increasingly pervasive disinformation. Our work aims to address social cohesion and societal resilience and we're developing new democratic tools to encourage better public decision making.
