The Criminal Justice Open Research Dialogue (CORD) Partnership aims to embed a culture of interdisciplinary open research in criminal justice in Ireland. It achieves this by bringing together criminal justice researchers, policymakers and practitioners to decide collectively how we should engage, what our priorities should be, and which actions would make the most of our knowledge and expertise to achieve shared goals.
To implement our 2025-26 Agenda, the CORD Partnership launched several services for colleagues working on criminal justice in recent months, including:
- Support for community-based organisations to integrate research into project proposals, and for academics to integrate engagement into grant proposals
- Support for public and community bodies to develop and publish Areas of Research Interest
- Support for PhD students to communicate their research to non-academic audiences through the CORD Justice Fellowship
- A programme of structured study visits so that researchers, policymakers and practitioners in criminal justice can spent time in each other’s organisations (the Day-in-the-Life Programme)
More information about these services and other CORD Partnership activities can be found in the news section of the CORD Partnership website.
