Our Labs
Our work is organised into three labs, spanning the future of work, alternative conceptions of the public sphere and R&D for progressive forces.
Each lab incubates a variety of projects and programs which can be explored below:
Public Futures
The Public Futures Lab explores bold, progressive visions for the future of public life, services, and infrastructure. From universal basic services to democratic ownership, the lab develops forward-thinking policies and narratives that reimagine the role of the state, community, and collective provision in a just society.
Work Futures
The Work Futures Lab examines the changing world of work and labour. Through cutting-edge research on automation, working time, and employment conditions, the lab develops policies and tools that promote dignity, equity, and sustainability in the workplace—now and in the future.
Tech Futures
The Tech Futures Lab tackles issues of AI, the platform economy, and the human-tech interface. Adopting neither a rejection of technological augmentation nor an uncritical adoption of industry hype, the Lab develops knowledge, tools and strategies to steer emerging tech towards progressive ends.
