Join our user research pool
Help shape the future of London’s Data Platform
At Data for London, we believe that the best services are created in collaboration with the people who use them. Your insights and experiences are valuable in helping us design, build, and improve the digital tools and services that support our city. By joining the user research pool, you can play a crucial role in shaping the future of London’s data services.
What is the user research pool?
The Data for London user research pool is a community of Londoners who are willing to participate in research activities to help us understand how our services are used and how they can be improved. By joining the pool, you may be invited to participate in activities such as:
- Interviews: share your thoughts directly with our research team
- Surveys: provide feedback on specific topics or features
- Usability testing: try out new features or services and give us your feedback on how they work
- Workshops: collaborate with other users and our team to brainstorm and co-design new ideas
Who can join?
We welcome participants from all walks of life, regardless of your familiarity with data or technology. Whether you are a frequent user of our services or someone who is just getting started, your feedback is important to us. We are especially interested in hearing from a diverse range of voices that reflect the true diversity of London.
Why participate?
Make a difference – your feedback will directly influence the design and development of the services that you and others will use in the future.
Learn and contribute – gain insights into how digital and data services are developed and contribute your own ideas to the process.
Flexible participation – you can choose how and when you participate. We will only contact you when there are research activities that match your profile and interests.
