Talk to Scenius about civic research

The fastest path depends on why you’re reaching out. If your institution has a question you’d like structured public input on, start at Advisory intake — that’s a real form, not an inbox. For everything else, the cards below tell you where to go.

Reasons to Reach Out

General Inquiries

Questions about how Scenius works, whether it fits your organization’s question, or how to get started.

For a defined research request, use Advisory intake instead of email.

Participate in Research

Browse open research on /research and contribute to any project you can view. For restricted projects, use the “Request to participate” panel on the project page.

You don't need credentials — perspective and experience are sufficient.

Request Research

For institutions that want structured public input on a specific question, use Advisory intake. Scenius will scope the request and, if approved, convert it into an active research project.

Not every request becomes a project immediately. That's part of the process.

Partnerships & Institutional Collaboration

For long-term institutional partnerships spanning Advisory, Co-Design, or Implementation across multiple projects.

See the Partnership Model page for the terms before reaching out.

Governance or Moderation Concerns

If you believe a moderation decision was wrong, a published report overreaches, attribution was mishandled, or a sponsor overstepped their role.

See the Governance page for how interventions work.

Looking Ahead

As Scenius evolves, additional ways to get involved may emerge. For now, email is the simplest—and most intentional—entry point.

A note on outreach

Specific messages get faster responses than broad ones. If you have a research request, use Advisory intake — the form asks the questions we’d have to ask you back on email anyway.
