From finding secure and affordable sources of energy to thinking about new ways to fund housing for the poorest people, we're seeking your views on how to tackle the complex problems facing industry, the public sector, government and communities alike.
Working with funding partners from across the sectors, we're interrogating ideas around five key areas of public policy for 2014:
• Housing
• Energy
• Business finance
As well as hosting live debates, we're running a series of online projects unpicking the issues through news, features, analysis, interviews, polls and interactive content.
We're presenting the findings at this year's political party conferences, bringing new ideas to the attention of politicians as they're drawing up the manifestos in the run up to the 2015 general election.
The full details of all our conference fringe events can be found below. Join the debate, share your views and help shape the future of our society and economy.
