What is public dialogue?
Public dialogue is defined by the Sciencewise-ERC as a ‘two-way’ conversation between policy makers and scientists on the one hand, and the public on the other. It aims to find out the public views, which may require legislation.
It does not seek to find out people’s views on a range of policy options that have already been developed. Rather, it aims to find out people’s hopes, fears and aspirations about potential new areas of science and technology.
It does this by taking place ‘upstream’, in other words before key policy decisions are made, to ensure that the outcomes are able to have some influence and make a difference.

Crucially, public dialogue needs a number of other key ingredients – the involvement of experts and the space to allow people to discuss and debate the issues, deliberate over time, and come back together again for further discussion.
Most importantly, public dialogue needs to have a policy ‘home’ and be linked to a clear policy issue so that it can make a difference to real decisions.
Pubic Dialogue is highly valuable when:• Policy is still at an early stage of development
• Issues are highly contentious
• There is potentially strong public interest
• Transparency is essential
• Public questions, concerns and aspirations need to be understood and built in alongside technical expertise and stakeholder views .

Structured and deliberative Market research
Inclusive of key perspectives
A means to persuade
Broadly representative of public through recruitment
A talking shop
Designed and customised A replacement for other evidence-based processes
"You can’t expect any drugs policy to have long-term success unless you take people with you. If you cut across the grain of the public instinct, it’s disastrous. Engaging with people should help us devise policies which are acceptable and sustainable." Academy of Medical Sciences
