Longview is an independent think tank, devoted to promoting longitudinal research in the UK, to improving its quality and to supporting those undertaking longitudinal studies.

The think tank’s role is to debate the findings of longitudinal research, to improve communication among those engaged in, and using longitudinal research, and to develop this field of study.

Ultimately, Longview aims to make longitudinal research findings more widely known and more useful, thus enhancing Britain's already impressive reputation in this field.
