The ENGAGED Roadshow is well underway, and the conversations happening across the country have been energising.

Over the past number of weeks, we have had the opportunity to bring the ENGAGED Roadmap to colleagues and communities at Trinity College Dublin, South East Technological University, University College Galway and University College Cork. Each stop has brought a different perspective, but a shared ambition is clear. There is a real appetite to make research more open, more inclusive, and more connected to society.

What is encouraging is that this is not just theoretical. People are actively asking how they can embed public involvement into their work in practical, meaningful ways.

The Roadshow continues, and we are looking forward to our next event at Dublin City University on 15 April.

If you are interested in the future of public involvement in research, this is a conversation worth being part of.
