Research and analysis play a central role in the services we offer as a research-based consultancy. We have a core team and a network of researchers and practitioners, all of whom are leading specialists in their field of expertise. Our research is both quantitatively and qualitatively supported. Our advice is focused on solutions and actions, and aimed at creating added value for clients.
As a result, our research stands out from that of others due to:
Its societal relevance: our research tackles the big challenges of the future such as sustainable rural and urban development, accessibility to arts and culture, and demographic changes.
The use of strong and proven scientific methodologies from research into literature, quantitative analysis, surveys, in-depth interviews, workshops and focus groups in order to obtain a good understanding of what works (and what does not), how it works, why and under what conditions.
Its interactive approach. We draw on the insights of a broad group of players in order to guarantee a lack of bias in the process and the completeness and the accuracy of the conclusions and solutions.
