"The older people involved in this research project sit on equal terms with us in management meetings and they bring a whole different set of knowledge to the table, helping us see research from a whole different perspective." — Dr Afroditi Stathi
Engagement methods: co-production
Benefits of co-producing work with public groups as an engagement method, with case studies from researchers who've used it.
Co-production recognises participants as experts of their own circumstances, and involves them in generating research knowledge alongside the researcher.
