Stakeholder workshop
A group of 20 organisations spanning sectors and disciplines came together at a workshop held in London in April. Participants discussed the preliminary findings of the evidence synthesis, reflected on the implications for R&D and considered which themes and issues should be prioritised for further exploration. The results will feed into the design of qualitative research with public participants from across voter groups.

A call for evidence
To help R&D organisations prepare for, and navigate, the fragmenting political environment, CaSE is producing an evidence-led review on how the shifting voter landscape will affect R&D advocacy. As a first step, and working with the community, we collected and analysed existing evidence sources on voter attitudes to extract any R&D-related insights.
