These annual events have been about embracing and valuing different kinds of knowledge and showing how we can work collaboratively as researchers, voluntary organisations, clinicians and people with lived experience.
In our final event we want to deepen our focus on building inclusive research, which was the foundation of our very successful 2025 event.
This half-day event will include presentations and space for reflection, discussion and exchange (more details to follow). There will also be an opportunity to network with delegates and to visit stands showcasing projects and activities undertaken by researchers, health and social care practitioners, voluntary sector and community partners.

We will discuss the following questions:
This event is open to all and is free to attend. Lunch and refreshments will be provided.
We are keen to hear from members of the public who are interested in learning more about research in their community and health and social care practitioners and community leaders. We have a limited budget to cover travel expenses for members of the public based in London to attend. Please email arcshortcourses@kcl.ac.uk to find out more.
If you would like to have a poster or stand to showcase your or your organisation's work please contact arcshortcourses@kcl.ac.uk
Community organisations are especially welcome.
