Upcoming Events

Monthly Online Network Meetings

• We meet on the first Wednesday of each month, 2-3pm (UK time).
• These sessions are a space to discuss all things participatory research – whether that’s challenges (or successes!) you’re facing in your projects, feedback from fellow PhD students, or sharing useful resources or takeaways from recent talks or conferences. Once you’re on our mailing list, you will receive a rolling teams link, so no need to register in advance – just turn up.

In-Person Network Meetings

We will also be organising occasional in-person meet-ups for those who’d like to connect in person – stay tuned for details!
