Dialogic is an independent research firm, founded in 1998. Our organisation consists of approximately 40 colleagues. Since 2006, our office has been located on the outskirts of the city centre of Utrecht.
Dialogic aims to contribute to better decision-making in policy, governance, and the economy. We primarily do this in the Netherlands and Flanders. We work on solving economic and societal issues where science, technology, and innovation play a key role. Our results contribute to better utilisation of science, technology, and innovation, and ultimately societal well-being. Dialogic does this based on research and the use of innovative research methods, aimed at objective and independent truth finding.
Core Values
The quality and independence of our research is always paramount. We only associate our name with publications based on sound research, where there is no possibility of influence on results by stakeholders. The public interest is primary - and welfare is more important than prosperity.
We are strongly focused on the underlying (policy) questions of our clients. We establish long-term relationships with our clients to better understand the issues. Where possible, we proactively contribute to formulating research questions and methods, always maintaining a critical approach to our own work.
As an organisation, we strive to provide a pleasant, challenging, safe, and diverse working environment. We ensure that our researchers can work on meaningful, challenging, and socially relevant issues. We expect and offer a high degree of autonomy and personal responsibility. We give our employees the opportunity to continuously develop and innovate themselves and the organisation. Collective performance takes precedence over individual, and there is a focus on a healthy work-life balance.
How We Work
Dialogic aims to continuously innovate both in its content and methodological focus. Innovation is viewed mainly in terms of sustainable innovation, not only economically, but also ecologically and socially. We strive to reflect this in the content of our research – as far as clients allow or desire – as well as in our internal business operations.
Our researchers often have a technical, public administration, or economic background. We form our project teams to combine domain expertise with multidisciplinary competencies. When relevant, we collaborate with other research firms or external experts from both the Netherlands and abroad.
Organisational Structure
Dialogic is owned by, and led by, the partners of Dialogic. They work on research projects on a daily basis alongside their management duties. This structure enables us to operate independently and ensures that the quality of our research remains a top priority.
