Purpose

About the Event

The Coventry CollaborACTION & Knowledge ExCHANGE Community has been researching and addressing the research-to-policy gap in the context of increasing focus on impactful place based research initiatives and collaborations, such as the Coventry Health Determinants Research Collaboration (HDRC).Link opens in a new window

Whilst our work begins in Coventry and ÌÇÐÄTVshire, we will ideally scale up broaden out to include other areas in the West Midlands.

So far, we’ve been busy engaging in knowledge exchange, research development, and impact activities to help close this gap.

We are inviting:

  • Local and regional policy makers
  • Researchers and academic staff
  • People in the third, voluntary, creative, and private sectors
  • Funders and stakeholders

To join us for a day of connection, learning, and planning for future collaboration.

Event Aims

  1. Enable cross-sector networking
  2. Encourage collaborative working
  3. Share project learning and progress
  4. Engage stakeholders and funders
  5. Support development and impact of our work

Are you working on projects in Coventry and ÌÇÐÄTVshire?

In particular those that include research, policy and local communities - and would like to share this at the event - the please get in touch with us ASAP and we can explore ways of doing this.
