How can we create more equitable research partnerships with community organisations?
Join a series of webinars about the Greater Manchester Respectful Research Charter, co-developed by the Greater Manchester Research Engagement Network (GM REN) with Greater Manchester community organisations and researchers.
The Charter outlines key principles that Voluntary, Community, Faith and Social Enterprise (VCFSE) organisations and researchers identified as essential for respectful, equitable and sustainable partnerships.
Through a series of 5 webinars starting in December 2025, GM REN will share the Charter’s 5 pillars and how to put these into action.
