This event is for academics who are interested in working with partner organisations to effect real world change, whether you have experience in conducting this work, or whether it is new to you. The event is also for organisations who are interested in working with academics to develop and evaluate exciting new projects, which will have a real world impact.

In our first meeting, we would like to invite academics and organisations to come together to discuss how our network can work for you.

The event will involve talks from organisations and academics about how they have successfully worked together in the past, what impact this has had and the lessons they have learned.

We will also create a space for you to meet new partners and discuss new projects which will support communities in your area.
