Evidence & Ideas Database
Between December 2024 and February 2025, we launched our Call for Evidence and Ideas. We gathered evidence from people, organisations and stakeholders with experience of co-producing research with universities to demonstrate the size and scale of the problem and actions and solutions that are already being tried and tested within the higher education sector.

Our online database showcases almost 200 pieces of evidence submitted to the Inquiry’s national Call for Evidence and Ideas from people, organisations and stakeholders with experience of co-producing research with universities. The evidence submitted includes bespoke testimonies highlighting the barriers to doing co-produced research and steps or initiatives to overcome these, as well as a wealth of guidance documents, toolkits, reports, documents, websites, videos and more related to the inquiry’s four themes: Fair Funding, Equitable Partnerships, Negotiated Ethics, and Responsible Metrics.

Although our formal call for evidence has now closed, we're continuing to welcome contributions via our online form until December 2026.
