“Dr Ryan has helped us deliver real impact, particularly in helping design and sustain the People’s Panel and Citizen Science, changing the way we engage with other citizens and the policies we have produced as a result. The proposed project can make a step-change in the way we can deliver services, engage with our residents and customers, as well as with our stakeholders. We are developing our own data observatory to allow the public to view and interact with our data. We will also help identify and explain current data processes in local government in the UK, disseminate to partners and include our feedback on the project.”

“As the UK’s leading public participation charity, we are keenly aware of the need for democratic innovation that harnesses new digital technologies for successful public consultation. We are committed to putting people at the heart of decision-making. Dr Ryan’s research on democratic innovations, and the promise of co-designed interventions, fits firmly with the need for more intelligent public participation in UK democracy. We would be delighted to contribute to designing interventions, helping with dissemination through our networks and advising the project.”

“We are delighted to express our strong support for this project to encourage better use of digital technologies for successful public consultation and democratic innovation. We work with several governments across the globe. Dr Ryan’s research on which democratic innovations work best in which context, along with the promise of new software and co-designed interventions responds directly to the needs of our worldwide partners. We believe that Rebooting Democracy will provide research and tools that will buttress democracy against emerging threats worldwide. We will provide expertise in locating use cases using our global networks. We will help with dissemination through our networks and where appropriate we will share information and data of mutual benefit.”
