Working together from the start – developing research ideas between academics and communities

Community-university partnerships are becoming more popular and co-production is a value increasingly embraced by research funders. Nevertheless, it is still relatively uncommon for voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise (VCFSE) organisations to be included from the beginning when it comes to developing a research project.

Come and join speakers from academia and the VCFSE sector to learn from their experiences about the challenges and opportunities of developing research projects together across sectors.
