TU Dublin’s Engaged Research Network supports Collaborative Exploration, Collective Impact. The network is open to anyone interested in engaged research (see definition below). It focuses on connecting and supporting people with an interest in engaged research and developing and sharing resources and experience. The network will build TU Dublin’s capacity for Engaged Research, with a focus on the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
‘Engaged Research describes a wide range of rigorous research approaches and methodologies that share a common interest in collaborative engagement with the community. It aims to improve, understand, or investigate an issue of public interest or concern, including societal challenges. Engaged research is advanced with community partners rather than for them. ‘Community’ refers to a range of public research stakeholders, including public or professional service and product users, policy makers, civil and civic society organisations (CSOs) and actors’ (Campus Engage, 2017. Engaged Research: Society and Higher Education Working Together to Address Societal Challenges).
