Engaging, learning and sharing:

Research & Resources

Research isn’t just for academics. We believe it can inform decision-making at every level - from the advocate employing tactics to the donor selecting priority areas.

Support

We team up with advocates to innovate for impact. We learn from them, connect them with resources, and document it all so others can learn and grow.

I’m very excited to say that from September 2016, I’ll be joining the fabulous Data & Society as a Fellow for the year 2016/17, and based in New York City. I’ll be splitting my time between my existing work at the engine room and the fellowship, and the two are very connected.
