Researching public involvement in research
This archive page records the sixth invoNET workshop, held in London in February 2012. The gathering brought together more than 50 members to exchange learning about building an evidence base for public involvement in research.
The day considered how involvement may affect research processes and decisions. It created space for attendees to hear about newly funded studies, identify questions shared across projects and discuss areas where further research could be useful.
What the workshop covered
The morning programme introduced four studies exploring the effects and practical realities of public involvement. A facilitated discussion followed, drawing out common themes and emerging issues.
In the afternoon, participants discussed related work already under way, opportunities for collaboration and gaps that might benefit from future investigation. The archived programme and delegate information were originally listed alongside this record.

Why this archive remains relevant
Public involvement has many possible forms and effects. This event reflects an ongoing need to make those effects visible: to explain what contributors influenced, how decisions were made and what teams learned along the way.
