Meaningfully involving public contributors in research: practical aspects of involvement and co-production


This workshop is being delivered by Shaping Our Lives, a user-led organisation specialising in the inclusive involvement of people from marginalised and oppressed communities. Shaping Our Lives often works as co-applicants or partners in university-led research studies and facilitates the involvement of the public in a meaningful and inclusive way. 

Drawing on their 26 years of experience in user-led research, they will provide practical advice on involving public contributors and on co-production. This interactive workshop will be particularly useful for early career researchers and people wanting to bring experiential knowledge into their work.
