Join DCU for the virtual launch of the DCU Centre for Engaged Research, taking place on Monday, 13th December at 2pm.

The launch will be followed by a panel discussion on “Engaged Research: Harnessing knowledge for community empowerment” with special guest speakers:

Paul Manners, Director, National Co-ordinating Centre for Public Engagement, UK
Professor Kathryn Higgins, Director of Queen’s Communities and Place Initiative, Queen’s University Belfast

The Centre for Engaged Research will pursue a new agenda that is coming to the fore in Ireland and in Europe. It is part of a wider movement to turn research into an active partnership with society to address pressing public needs.

Engaged Research is not only a more inspiring ideal for academia, it is also a more promising basis for a just and sustainable society.
