Co-hosted by the Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC) & the Pan-African Collective for Evidence (PACE)!
Join us for the official launch of the Engaged Research Evidence Map – a groundbreaking digital resource that brings together a wealth of research on engaged scholarship from across disciplines and low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
This event is one of the precursors of the HSRC/NRF conference on Engaged Research to be held on the 21st-24th October, at the Birchwood Hotel. The evidence map has been co-developed as part of an HSRC/NRF project titled Mainstreaming ER in the NSI. The map, done in collaboration with the Pan African Collective for Evidence (PACE), is aimed at supporting knowledge sharing, informing policy, and strengthening engaged research practices across South Africa’s National System of Innovation.
What to Expect:
- Welcome and Project Overview
Learn about the goals, partnerships, and impact of the Engaged Research Project. - Understanding the Evidence Mapping Process
Explore the participatory and systematic approach used to co-create the map. - Live Demonstration
See how to navigate and use the evidence map to find research papers, spot trends, and identify gaps in the field of engaged research across LMICs. - Interactive Q&A
Engage directly with the development team and share your feedback.
Whether you are a researcher, policymaker, practitioner, or evidence enthusiast, this workshop will equip you with a powerful tool to support and grow your work in the field of engaged research.
