About the Host
Thousands of activists across the UK volunteer their time and energy for campaigns every year. Year in, year out, we use the same campaigning methods and tools we always have, because we think they work.
But as technology changes how we work and live, it will also change how we campaign!
We are a community of politically-minded progressive data scientists, researchers and campaigners who are working together to develop innovative election tools and improve the way we analyse and understand campaigning.

Equal Opportunities Statement
Campaign Lab is committed to building an inclusive, diverse and equitable environment for everyone who engages with our work, whether as staff, volunteers, participants, partners or community members.
We recognise that inequality and discrimination (whether based on race, gender, sexuality, disability, age, class, religion, caring responsibilities, political belief, or other protected characteristics) limit people’s opportunities and potential. As an organisation dedicated to innovation and collaboration in campaigning, we know that diverse perspectives and experiences are essential to building fairer and more effective solutions.

These include projects related to supporting elected officials to connect with and better serve their constituents and projects supporting the campaigns of progressive causes broadly. It can also include the creation, or supporting the creation, of digital technologies to help progressive causes by volunteers. Campaign Lab maintains an active research program focused on electoral campaign experimentation and analysis. Researchers with an interest in any of these areas are encouraged to apply.
