Dialogic is an independent research firm, established in 1998. Our organisation consists of around 40 colleagues. Our office has been located on the outskirts of the city centre of Utrecht since 2006.
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 in which science, technology, and innovation play a significant role. Our results contribute to a better utilisation of science, technology, and innovation, ultimately leading to societal well-being. Dialogic conducts this based on research and the use of innovative research methods, focused on objective and independent truth-finding.
Core Values
The quality and independence of our research always come first. We only associate our name with publications based on sound research, ensuring that there is no possibility of influencing results by stakeholders. The public interest is paramount, 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 empathise with the issues at hand. Where possible, we start early in assisting with the formulation of research questions and methods, always maintaining a critical outlook on 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 level 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 performance, and a healthy work-life balance is encouraged.
Our Approach
Dialogic aims to constantly innovate both in its substantive and methodological focus. Innovation is primarily viewed in the context of sustainable innovation, not just economically, but also ecologically and socially. We strive to reflect this ambition in the content of our research projects - to the extent that clients allow or value it - as well as in our internal business management.
Our researchers typically have technical, public administration, or economic backgrounds. We assemble our project teams to combine domain-specific knowledge with multidisciplinary competences. When relevant, we collaborate with other research firms or external experts from both domestic and international backgrounds.
Organisational Structure
Dialogic is owned and led by the partners of Dialogic. In addition to their management duties, they actively participate in research projects on a daily basis. This structure enables us to operate independently and ensures that the quality of our research remains a top priority.
