Within current government structures, there is a concern that research results are not flowing into policy, nor policy to implementation in an efficient and timely manner, and that existing government mechanisms do not make this possible. Furthermore, accessing research through small-scale tender processes is inefficient and administratively demanding. What is required is a simple process of quickly accessing high quality short-term research teams to support the rapid mobilisation of research into policy and practise, and the conversion of policy that works, into action.

Eidos is providing the framework for a strong partnership between governments and the Eidos network. Eidos offers an independent gateway to a rich and diverse research network, capitalising on the broad experience and proven success of Eidos Rapid.

Eidos provides a simple and reliable process for policy makers seeking rapid research, facilitating mutual relationships between policy makers, and Australian and world-skilled academics and policy experts.

The real strength of Eidos is that we are independent, able to source and team the best research and evaluation consultants in the country, and have streamlined processes with members to ensure a rapid response to any request for research, consultancy and project work.
