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.
