VideoEngaged Research is an integral part of the research culture at UCC and engaged research generally drives impact on our grand societal challenges such as the Sustainable Development Goals. Engaged Research is an overarching or umbrella term describing a wide range of research approaches and methodologies, each having a core intent of collaborative engagement with and within society. Hence, engaged research is an inclusive approach that moves beyond the mind-set of conducting research for society and it includes practices such as citizen science, public patient involvement, or participatory action research as well as concepts such as co-production or co-creation of research.
The Office of the Vice President for Research and Innovation at UCC is committed to supporting institutional capacity building for engaged research through the recent UNIC Engaged Research Seed Fund, Engaged Research Training and Community Engagement.
