• A Perfect Storm The current relationship between culture and local governement is confused and confusing – there is no cultural system, and hence reliable evidence is difficult to come by. But that is no reason to ignore the problem of falling budgets and asset disposals. Researchers: John Holden Samuel Jones 1 BlogPost 3 Bookmarks 13 Themes
• Atlas of Ideas 2.0 The Atlas of Ideas is mapping changes in the global geography of science and innovation - pinpointing where innovation is coming from and where it is heading.
  
  So far our work has focused on China, India and South Korea, but Phase 2.0 sees Demos extend this work to include an ambitious study of science in the Islamic world; a focus on the innovation potential of Brazil; a closer look at 'knowledge nomads'; and the prospects for a low-carbon China.

• Atlas of Islamic-World Innovation 800 years ago, scholars from the Islamic world led much of the world in medicine, astronomy and mathematics. But today, many countries with significant Muslim populations fall below the global average on key indicators of science and technology-based innovation.
  
  Now there are signs of renewed ambition and investment, with strong support from national governments, businesses, philanthropists and bodies like the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC). If this is sustained, we could be witnessing the start of a second golden age of Islamic-world innovation. Researchers: James Wilsdon Natalie Day 1 Bookmark
