At this festival, researchers and their engaged research projects will be showcased, internal panel discussions will be held to discuss the most pressing issues in the area of engaged research, and external speakers will discuss engaged research in its various forms on the international stage.

What is Engaged Research to Dublin City University?
Engaged research is part of a broader move towards collaborative engagement with community stakeholders to address societal challenges in a responsive manner. It explores the potential for increased collaborative activities, participation, and knowledge dissemination, and it encourages greater public ownership. Engaged research aligns with DCU's mission to transform lives and societies through education, research, engagement, and innovation. It reflects the need to rebuild societies towards a new sustainable, collaborative, and resilient model, as well as harness and communicate the knowledge of the University to address social needs directly, understanding the transformative power of University-community partnerships.
Poster Call for Engaged Research Projects at DCU
DCU researchers who have worked on projects or are currently working in this area are invited to submit proposals to present their work at the Engaged Research Festival: their innovative approaches to research and/or public engagement, their research activities in progress, the results of previous engaged research, or new ideas and engaged research practices that they are soon to embark on. These exemplars should align with DCU’s goal of transforming lives and society through authentic, meaningful, and innovative public engagement. The application process is open from 23rd-31st October.
A poster session will provide a visual representation of the fantastic engaged research being conducted at DCU, as well as a catalyst for discussion for the researchers and attendees at the Engaged Research Festival. Additionally, it will provide an opportunity for researchers to receive feedback, share knowledge, and potentially network across the university. Posters will be presented in two in-person poster sessions where author(s) stand by their poster and speak with attendees of the festival.
If you would like to present an engaged research project at the Engaged Research Festival, follow this link to submit a poster to the Engaged Research Festival.
