Eidos is an independent research institute and think tank. Its objective is to generate new ideas and dialogue on good education, labour market and social public policy. We believe that engaged research collaboration and policy innovation contributes to a good society. Eidos is Greek for ideas. Our aim is to inspire, facilitate and support our members and partners to be more collaborative, effective and legitimate.
Eidos members include universities and policy leaders. We draw the intellectual strength of our research community into an active dialogue with policy makers and practitioners. Within the Eidos membership there are more than 50 leading research and policy institutes and centres, and over 300 active senior and early career researchers.
Not to burst any bubbles here however this, to me, looks like it is much more superficial than what it is engaging. It is the public which needs to be engaged by politicians (and academics), not the politicians being engaged by academics. As a member of the general public, I do not feel that my interests would be served by such an organisation.
