Why PPF exists

Public Praxis Forum is being developed as a forum where researchers, policymakers, practitioners, academics, and communities can work together on questions that sit between research, institutions, and lived realities.

Researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and communities may understand different parts of the same public problem. Research can inform policy, policy can shape implementation, and communities experience its consequences—but these forms of knowledge do not always meet in meaningful ways.

Public Praxis Forum was created to bridge that gap.

What we are trying to bridge
