What is engaged research? Also referred to as citizen science or participatory action research, “engaged research” can be summed up as research that is advanced with community partners rather than for them. Engaged research projects therefore provide an excellent opportunity for civil society groups to influence and shape research in their field, access data to inform their work, and participate in a wide range of funding programmes.
Featuring a panel of experts from both the nonprofit sector and academia, this session will provide insight on engaged research from the Irish and international contexts and will cover:
- What is engaged research?
- Opportunities for civil society organisations and how to get involved
- Best practice case studies
- Supports available
- Info on follow up in-person networking days.
Venue: Online via Zoom
Date and Time: Tuesday, 27 September 2022, 10:00am to 12:00pm
