DCU PPI Ignite 2019-2020 PPI in Research Seminar Series
The 2019-2020 PPI seminar series was developed with feedback from partner organisations, and seminars were attended by a mixed audience of members of the public, patients, researchers, students and support staff. A number of public and patient bursaries were available for each seminar.
