In June 2024, we held a workshop in Sheffield to introduce the Inquiry to researchers drawn primarily from the Universities of Sheffield, Liverpool and Manchester. We invited the 60+ participants to 'air their dirty laundry in public', identifying challenges they had experienced in the field, which related to specific processes or structures within their own universities. They then wrote postcards to the person or team that might be able to address the problem.
The Co-Pro Futures Inquiry brings together collective intelligence on how we can improve the conditions for co-produced and participatory research within UK universities and higher education.
