What is Live Research?
The world around us is changing everyday in a blizzard of transient news headlines. But what are the deeper patterns and signals in the noise? What might they mean for how we live, create, consume, collaborate, and work? How are the deeper systems that we rely on shifting? Where might be the best places to intervene to accelerate change for sustainability? What might we be caught out by in the long term?
Live Research projects are designed to focus conversation on a specific challenge or question, engaging the platform’s global community and others in sharing thoughts, insights and perspectives on the issues that matter most.
Who is this for?

- Ability to galvanise engagement from specific members of the Futures Centre community
- Research and insights, with consolidating briefings
- Space to test ideas with experts and interested parties
- Opportunity-spotting for strategy and innovation
- Reputation as a thought-leader driving sustainability in practice
How to run a Live Research project?
If you have a challenge in mind, commissioning a unique and bespoke Live Research project on the Futures Centre will help you tap into diverse perspectives across multiple markets – engaging with audiences in creative ways from online debates and webinars to social media and in-person workshops.
Beyond that, you’ll have a dedicated team at international sustainability non-profit, Forum for the Future, providing systemic analysis of all insights, and making the recommendations that will help inform your work.
Interested? It all starts with a conversation.
