We use technology, AI, arts and design to scale public engagement - making it faster, more inclusive, more engaging and more impactful. We design digital tools and deliberative engagements that help public and voluntary sector institutions build trust and collaborate with citizens on the issues that matter - from tackling the climate crisis and living healthy lives to deciding how technology should be used and governed.

We help organisations deliver high-quality public engagement and make more informed decisions. We work with organisations to help them understand where and how collective intelligence can help address the problems they’re working on. We build digital tools for public participation, design and deliver innovative engagement activities and produce actionable research insights for decision-makers.

Our expertise is grounded in our extensive knowledge of a range of public engagement methods and the digital tools that enhance and scale deliberation and collective decision-making. The Centre’s multidisciplinary team brings skills in participatory methods, deliberation, software development, design and AI, and we have worked with organisations from the UN to the BBC. Our flagship Collective Intelligence Design Playbook is used by practitioners around the world, and our deliberation platform Zeitgeist has been used to engage the public on issues from climate adaptation to AI assurance.
