Public Dialogues

We have carried out a dozen evaluations of public deliberative dialogue processes around complex and contentious science and technology issues. Topics have included environmental issues (flood risks, carbon capture and storage, managing nuclear waste, developing a National Food Strategy), health and wellbeing issues (genetic modification, genomics, nano technologies, wellbeing) and data sharing (online targeting, biometrics). Many of our reports are available at the Sciencewise UK (UKRI) website which co-funds public dialogues. We have also evaluated public dialogues for Scottish Water, Royal Society and Ada Lovelace.
