The SPOTLIGHTS - Let’s Talk online series highlights different ways collaborative research is supported around the world.

The series brings together inspiring examples that differ in their thematic focus, organizational setup, and approaches to collaborative research infrastructure. Each session offers insights into how collaborative research is enabled, organized, and embedded in different institutional and regional contexts.

Rather than aiming for a comprehensive overview, Let’s Talk invites participants to explore diverse perspectives, exchange experiences, and discover new ideas for supporting collaborative research.

This session will highlight the work of Prof. Matthew Hickman at Public and Community Engagement with Research located in Oxford, United Kingdom.

We are very much looking forward to welcoming you!

The event is addressed to researchers, an integration expert bridging science and practice, representatives of a research support structure or network, science managers, policy advisors
