 People may wonder what collaborative and inclusive governance is, but in the period when we have major global geopolitical challenges and challenges to societies as a whole, particularly climate change, and during a period of greater inequality of wealth and income around the world, citizens may be looking towards having a more equitable and equal society in which the institutions that govern those aspects of life are consistent, accountable and transparent, particularly at a time of rising national populism and challenges to the democratic process and its institutions. As a result of that, we have developed a multilateral approach, a multi-bismy approach across faculties within the Open University, but with our external networks as well. And that's led to a number of exciting new projects which we have had funding for and seeking better funding in the future and to engage a wider community of scholars, but also the larger Open University community.
