About GO Lab

The foundation of our work is high-quality research, and our team bring stellar academic credentials, as well as a desire to generate useful practical insights. Using an interdisciplinary approach, we aim to shed light on what might make various partnership approaches effective, and how they compare to one another, responding to the questions posed by those working in policy and practice. Our research covers a range of topics, including outcomes-based contracting, procurement and social value, public service partnerships and research tools.

We also work hard to get evidence into the hands of those who need it, through an expansive programme of engagement and capacity-building on both a national and international level. We host an online global knowledge hub and data collaborative, convene a range of events to disseminate insights, and facilitate peer learning groups to allow our wider community to share their experience with one another.

By blending rigorous research with practical engagement, we hope to bridge the divide that too often exists between those who generate knowledge and those who use it, and make a real difference to the outcomes that governments can achieve for the people they exist to serve.
