She leads the Intelligent Deliberation Group (IDea: http://idea.kmi.open.ac.uk/) which investigates theories methods and tools accounting for the centrality of social interaction and discourse in public engagement, urban informatics, e-democracy and social innovation contexts. In the past 15 years Anna led the design and development of 8 different Collective Intelligence technologies (Cohere, The Evidence Hub, LiteMap, DebateHub, CIdashboard, Democratic Reflection, Democratic Replay, Bcause.app) which have been adopted by 17,000+ people worldwide.
