Networking

On 14 June 2022 we held a networking event to bring together people from universities, the voluntary sector and people with lived experience of social care to:

  • share the findings of the project
  • to meet and network with each other
  • to explore whether a participatory research network might be helpful and what the barriers and facilitators are

Laura Brodrick from Think Big Picture drew the event as it happened:

We ran another networking event on 17 May 2023 that brought together people from VCSEs and universities to share their interests and priorities for research/co-production activity and establish opportunities for collaboration.

This was followed by an invitation to submit a bid to be one of the collaborative partnerships supported through the Research Better Together project.

The five successful collaborations are now receiving a package of training, mentorship and ‘seed-corn funding’ to develop their participatory research idea or co-production activity.
