Support from our Engaged and Participatory Research Fund has helped bring this subject to new audiences through workshops and exhibitions in the Tees Valley.

Celebrating our Engaged and Participatory Research Fund Awardees
For the last few years, our Engaged and Participatory Research (E&PR) Fund has aimed to facilitate connections between researchers and partners external to the university. On the 15th June, we invited our 2024-5 and 2025-6 cohorts to join us for a special event, sharing findings and best practice, and celebrating their fantastic achievements from the course of their projects.
