Observatory for a Connected Society

The Observatory for a Connected Society, developed by the Corsham Institute and RAND Europe, brings together curated research, analysis and thinking from leading experts on the impact of digital technologies, services and tools on society.

As technology-driven change accelerates, it is transforming all parts of our daily life: from how we communicate and receive news and information, to how we shop, bank and access public services. Our connected society brings huge opportunities, but also significant challenges.

The Observatory for a Connected Society will enable policymakers, private and public sector leaders, academics and researchers to access everything they need to know about the most important tech and digital issues in society, informing their thinking, decisions and actions.

Our Monitor feed provides authoritative, curated news and research on issues related to the connected society, for example: Digital Health, Cyber and resilience, Digital living, Trust and ethics.

Our Analysis and Comment sections provide unique access to facts, data and topical commentary from prominent thinkers, sector leaders and experts.

Our Highlight section provides a calendar of the most important events, publications and consultations.
