Day of Inclusive Sciences (Workshop)

Do you want to make your research inclusive, but you are struggling due to time and funding concerns? Are you interested in hearing and learning from experiences of your fellow colleague’s? Do you find it difficult to reach out to your research population?

Get informed about possibilities and inspired by colleagues on Thursday, 30 March 2023! Together with the audience we will have a conversation with several invited experts, four parallel sessions on 1) funding possibilities, 2) creative methods and knowledge creation, 3) how to meaningful engage so called hard to reach migrants groups like undocumented migrants and 4) working with a sounding board, followed by a meet-and-greet where you can exchange experiences with your colleagues.

Research participation has many benefits and comes in a variety of forms such as sounding boards, panels and steering groups. In this session, we discuss how researchers can improve the participation of people with different levels of (health) literacy and socioeconomic or ethnic backgrounds and reflect on how the researchers’ own background can cause issues.
