We are opening the call for submissions until February 28th WE WANT EVIDENCE TO DEMONSTRATE 1. The size and scale of the problem 2. Actions and solutions that are already being tried and tested IDEAS Ideas for what kinds of formal and informal actions might really change the conditions for co-produced research We hope to hear evidence from: Researchers | Co-researchers | Partner organisations | Professional service staff | University leaders and managers | Infrastructure organisations | Funders | Higher education policy-makers HOW TO SUBMIT? Share your evidence on the Linked-In group Co-Pro Futures LinkedIn group Collective Intelligence- Gathering form forms.gle/cwA5h7tATx9ADHYk7 Email the Co-Pro Futures team coprofutures@gmail.com WHAT WILL WE DO WITH THE EVIDENCE?
