Editor's Notes
- This isn’t about working separately with a whole bunch of researchers and organisations to strengthen everyone’s research dissemination plans. The research projects already have their own research uptake components. What we will be doing is providing spaces, opportunities, and products that bring together common themes and help join them up to relevant audiences. It combines our (Cambridge and IDS) strengths in knowledge mobilisation and research. It comes at a time when IDS is implementing a new structure with more integration of our knowledge processionals with our research clusters and Cambridge has recently launched its Research Centre for Equality in Education and International Development Obviously a great opportunity to make a real contribution to research uptake but also a really good opportunity to make an important contribution to the debate and knowledge around the impact of the social sciences on development.
- TALS will offer an advisory role helping to identify key research and policy agendas and influencing and engagement opportunities. They also lend to the EPD academic credibility and access to key networks. Plus there is a much wider technical pool based at IDS - many joining us over the two days – covering areas like publications, web and online services, training and capacity building, media, social media, communications and uptake strategy, events and so on.
- Outcome: Academic and policy discourses will be bridged in key areas, and closer connections will be forged between individual grantees, between the programmes and with policy and practitioner audiences. Hosting side events and panels – CIES Comparative and International Education Societies Conference in Vancouver Learning exchange workshops and seminars - Disability workshop included around 25 researchers from seven projects funded under the ESRC-DFID Strategic Partnership, with participants from India, Kenya, Malawi, Uganda and the UK. They were joined by representatives of disabled people’s organisations, donor agencies and international NGOs. Flagship events – 10 Years of the Joint Fund
