What is Engaged Research & Innovation?
At both national and international levels, the emergence of research programmes focused on public engagement and involvement, innovation missions, and industrial competitiveness are shaping more inclusive research landscape. It is within this changing and dynamic context that collaboration between researchers and a range of public research stakeholders – including civic and civil society organizations, state and semi-state agencies, industry partners, professionals, and members of the public – has begun to move from the margins to the mainstream of research design and execution. Engaged research describes a wide range of rigorous research approaches and methodologies that share a common interest in collaborative engagement with the community and aim to improve, understand, or investigate an issue of public interest or concern, including societal challenges. Engaged research is advanced with partners rather than for them.
