Exploring the boundaries: public dialogue

The Academy commissioned the  ‘Exploring the Boundaries’ public dialogue programme to inform our current working group study on the use of animals containing human material, ensuring this work is informed by public opinion alongside that of scientists and other experts.

Ipsos MORI, one of the UK’s leading research agencies, worked with the British Science Association and the public engagement specialists Dialogue by Design  to deliver the dialogue, which was supported by Sciencewise-ERC.

The dialogue included a series of deliberative workshops, focus groups, and interviews, as well as a nationally representative public survey.

An independent evaluation of the programme was carried out for the Academy by Laura Grant Associates.
