Dear all,
On 20th June 2012, the CONSIDER project held a workshop in Porto, in collaboration with the UDIPSS conference "Unpacking the Future - Pointing the North Towards Social Innovation".
The objective of the CONSIDER project is to explore how CSOs are currently involved in research projects. This research will lead to recommendations for the European Commission and other stakeholders, providing guidance on good practice in CSO participation.
The workshop in Porto, the first of ten over the next two years, aimed to investigate what CSOs need in order to participate in research, and collected feedback on the CONSIDER project's current research plans. It enabled participating stakeholders to give their views on the research process and the main issues they experienced when involved in research projects, as well as an opportunity to share their expectations for future projects.
Following the workshop, the consortium has prepared a report on the event (see attachment) in order to share the outcomes of the workshop.
