Research Engagement Events
RECAP research engagement events bring together researchers and research partners to discuss specific research themes. We welcome anyone who has engaged and completed the partnered research modules to participate.
Research engagement events help researchers and research partners:
- Share different perspectives about needs, gaps, strengths, and challenges;
- Reflect on possible research ideas or questions;
- Identify synergies – find common ground;
- Explore relevance and possible opportunities for mutual benefits; and
- Network and make connections for possible future research collaboration.
To learn about the next research engagement events, please subscribe to our mailing list.
