The Bridges Project

The Bridges Project, in partnership with the Open Society European Policy Institute, explores the dynamics of human choice, collective thinking and sentiment, and political behaviour by bringing together ground-breaking researchers and public intellectuals into a dialogue with high-level policy-makers and politicians. It has been running since 2012.
