About Centreforum

Our role

Lousewies van der Laan, Sarah Jones at CentreForum's Middle East conference - 2006
CentreForum is an independent, liberal think-tank seeking to develop evidence based policy solutions to the problems facing Britain.

Our research will reflect our liberal aims and values. But we are determined that it should begin with reference to data, not dogma. A good idea is a good idea, regardless of where it comes from.

Over time we intend to address a wide range of public policy issues, be they domestic or international, economic or social, environmental or political.

Nick Clegg MP and Sue Kramer MPRunning in parallel to our research programme are our public events. Through meetings, conferences, seminars and lectures, we aim to engage policy makers, academics, the media and voters in lively and provocative debate.  

We also run freethink.org, an open forum to discuss and develop policy.
CentreForum is a charitable organization.
