What are the key ingredients for meaningful community engagement in research?

 

Join partners from across the North West for Cooking Up Sustainable Community Engagement in Research, a collaborative event bringing together voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise organisations, researchers and system partners.

Together we will share learning, explore challenges and begin shaping a North West approach to sustainable research engagement. Through discussion, interactive activities and regional perspectives, the day will focus on what works, what needs to change and how we can build stronger partnerships between communities and research.

Whether you are new to research collaboration or already involved in research partnerships, the event offers space to connect, reflect and contribute to a shared regional vision.

The day will be hosted by comedian and facilitator Ali Kahn, bringing an engaging approach to conversations about research and community involvement.
