Eidos Institute is an unconditional supporter of ideas in the field of public policy. We believe that public policy is best informed by high quality research. We believe that the best democracy is an informed and included democracy.
After launching the Eidos Institute Event Series in October 2006, Eidos has quickly gained a reputation for running professional events, with quality speakers attracting attention from government, tertiary and corporate sectors.
The Eidos PRAXIS Professional Development Series represents an important component of the Eidos Institute Event Series.
Eidos Institute is committed to breathing new life into the public sphere, viewing public debate and transparency of public policy as the keys to healthy democracy, and it is in accordance with this commitment that Eidos is working to reanimate and revitalise the public sphere on a number of levels, most notably through the staging of events aiming to facilitate and inform public discussion and debate.

Many organisations have identified that an ability to create value for their customers through innovative products, services, experiences or even policies will be a critical determinant of their future success. Sadly there is often a substantial gap between wanting to do something and actually doing it. This is particularly true in the field of innovation. Angus & Robertson, Borders, Colorado, Golden Circle, all iconic brands that have hit the headlines recently for the wrong reasons. Federal Small Business Minister, Nick Sherry said in response to the closure of traditional bookstores, “I think in five years, other than a few specialist booksellers in capital cities, we will not see a bookstore. They will cease to exist.”
