STILL CONNECTING: Doing Engaged Research & Innovation Online

Please join us on April 23rd from 11-12 for our Spring 2021 Campus Engage Webinar -  STILL CONNECTING: Doing Engaged Research & Innovation Online

COVID-19 has set many challenges for Irish researchers; particularly those who work with the public, policy makers or patients to better understand and address Ireland's complex societal challenges - climate change, gender equality, housing, health and wellbeing etc.

This webinar will showcase how engaged research teams have adapted their practice during the pandemic in order to deliver projects.

We will also launch a new Campus Engage How to Guide: Doing Engaged Research Workshops Online, provide opportunity to consider how our research community is faring with online platforms - the successes and the challenges. This Guide is informed by experienced facilitator Michael Foley, and Campus Engage Engaged Research Working Group members, colleagues from civic society organisations and higher education.
