Who gets to shape how research connects with the public?

We’ve spent 2025 asking that question through collective intelligence workshops with communities, NGOs, and researchers across Ireland.

The energy over the past two days was real. #NORFest2025 brought people together who care about doing research differently and doing it with communities, not just about them. Looking forward to keeping this momentum moving into what we build next.

We’re growing something real here. ENGAGED Open Research and Public Engagement Roadmap is about changing how research is done day to day. Not just policy language, but how we work with each other, how we listen, and how we involve the people our research affects.

This zine we displayed at #NORFest2025 @norfireland.bsky.social @ria.ie came from one of our collective intelligence workshops. How do we build real capacity for open research.
Systematic change happens when we commit to working side by side
#Zines #openresearch #publicengagement #NORFest2025
This zine we displayed at NORFest National Open Research Forum at the Royal Irish Academy came from one of our ENGAGED collective intelligence workshops. It asks a simple question that kept coming up. How do we build real capacity for open research. Not just awareness or policy alignment. Actual capacity to do things differently. People told us capacity is built through time, support, shared practice, and genuine collaboration. It needs space to learn together, not just instructions handed down. It needs resourcing that recognises culture change is real work, not something extra squeezed in on top. Systematic change doesn’t happen by accident. It happens when we commit to working side by side and keep at it. #Zines #openresearch #publicengagement #NORFest2025

#openresearch #publicengagement
Louise Hopper spoke at our ENGAGED Open Research and Public Engagement Roadmap session at #NORFest2025 in the Royal Irish Academy (RIA). She brought the focus back to people. Culture change is not an abstract policy conversation. It lives in everyday practice, how we work with each other, how we share knowledge, and how we make decisions that have real impact on real lives. Louise reminded the room that open research is not just infrastructure or compliance. It is trust, care, and responsibility. If we want systematic change, we have to look at how we relate to our colleagues, partners, and communities. That is where change takes root. #openresearch #publicengagement
