We’re here to help R&D organisations and advocates connect with new audiences, build support, and share a bold vision of what R&D can achieve.
Using the latest public opinion data and data-driven tools, together we can create a compelling narrative that captures the public imagination, brings R&D to the top of the political agenda, and turns insights into collaborative action.
Let’s show why R&D matters.
We’ve explored public opinion towards R&D as a political and societal priority, and uncovered both risks and opportunities. Our research spans nationally representative polling of tens of thousands of people, focus groups and public dialogue to better understand people’s views.
CaSE data examines awareness of R&D, attitudes towards different R&D actors, and the potential benefits of R&D and related investments. It considers how to connect R&D to purpose and place and the most effective terminology, messages and messengers.
We offer clear, practical and data-driven resources to help you connect with new audiences and cultivate lasting support.
From messaging strategies to supporting statistics, you’ll find everything you need to tell a compelling story about R&D’s impact and create a vision of a future powered by innovation.
