RISE Engaged Research in the Social Economy
from 01/10/2024 until 01/10/2026
This Erasmus+ funded project will build the skills of social economy organisations (SEOs) to partner in projects with research institutes. This will enable more engaged research (ER), a practice that creates more socially impactful projects through collaboration between researchers and communities. SEOs can be the key to accessing communities and practitioner expertise and achieving real change, but they can lack the capacity necessary to navigate the research landscape. RISE will address this need.
Aim
- Create a host of "research ready" organization throughout the EU Social Economy through the development of a tailored learning programme.
-
Validate project outputs and skills outcomes for participants through a comprehensive pilot and learning recognition system.
-
Share our methodology for replication and identify pathways for sustainability.
-
Share project results, facilitate networking, & promote the value of engaged research through an ambitious communications strategy.
Who is RISE for?
By participating in the RISE programme, workers of social economy organisations will get:
-
The skills necessary to navigate the research landscape as non-academics and in partnership with researchers.
-
The tools and confidence to engage in research, in a way that is strategic for their organisation and beneficial to their service users.
