About
Our role
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. We divide our research into four categories:Liberalism; economics; education and social policy; and globalisation.
Running 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.
CentreForum is a charitable organisation.
