WHAT WE WORK ON
Practical, applied, policy relevant projects and research on valuing and investing in our nation's people. We value the strong dependence on education and training to build capability and on health and other incentives to increase our capabilities. Sitting amongst financial, social, intellectual and cultural capital - human capital is now on the international and national agenda. Eidos partners are leaders in the ongoing development of human capital and our broad program of work continues to build a body of knowledge for the better.
Eidos believes research is likely to have a greater impact on policy and practice through supporting coordinated bodies of work, rather than a scatter of atomised, free-standing projects. We focus on five areas:
LIFE: lifecourse learning and work transitions;
WIRED: new communications, technologies and human capital and social policy;
COMMUNITY: learning, labour and community;
GREEN: sustainable human capital systems and education for sustainability;
SAFE: strengthening the nation’s social and economic fabric.
Our top 15 Eidos researchers in each program have collectively undertaken more than $50M in national and international research and evaluation consultancies over the past five years.
WHO WE WORK WITH
Our partners include policy-makers, universities, companies and public service providers.
HOW WE WORK
Eidos increases the collaborative and creative capacity and impact of researchers, policy-makers and practitioners. We position the partners at the forefront in creating good public policy - locally, nationally and globally. We seek to bring new voices and mentor a new generation of researchers and policy-makers, for example through an active program of internships, winter schools and emerging researchers conferences.
WHAT WE OFFER
Our research and policy teams analyse social and economic change, which we connect to innovation and learning in organisations. We help our members and clients forecast, lead, and respond to emerging challenges.
HOW WE COMMUNICATE
Eidos gives high priority to effective dissemination and works closely with the research teams to ensure that the findings are of value to policy-makers and practitioners. We use media, public events, seminars, workshops, and publications to communicate our ideas. All our reports can be downloaded free from the Eidos website.
