Hey Tom, really interesting concept you’ve got going here - very useful to read and have as a resource moving forwards.
Given my background in university research, I was interested to see that, whilst academic research/ers featured in the canonical works / community figures lists, not as many academic research groups or institutions were listed as idea exchange orgs - why do you think this is? maybe the work of university research groups is too niche and the work of university institutions too broad, with both being less focused on meaningful exchange as they should be?
I wonder if, in this case, your map highlights a problem that needs solving… keen to hear yours (and others) thoughts on this :)
P.S. in Cambridge, I found my tech policy community in CSAP and the Bennett Inst — I feel these places qualify as “ideas machines” but I’m unsure where they’d go on the map (I’ll give it some more thought!)
