abstract |
This is the final report of the Open University’s RCUK-funded Public Engagement with
Research Catalyst, ‘An open research university’, a project designed to create the
conditions in which engaged research can flourish. The report describes an evidence-based
strategy designed to embed engaged research within the University’s strategic planning
for research and the operational practices of researchers. This programme of organisational
change was informed by action research, working collaboratively with researchers at
all levels across the institution to identify and implement strategies that work for
them and the stakeholders, user communities and members of the public that engage
with their research. Through a combination of surveys, interviews and interventions,
we identified a number of challenges and proposed solutions to address them. For
example, we found that researchers have a relatively narrow view of engaged research
and the communities with which they interact and very few researchers strategically
evaluate their engaged research activities. The report documents some of the interventions
we have introduced with the aim of broadening and deepening future researcher engagement,
including a definition of engaged research and revised promotion criteria that include
knowledge exchange profiles. In conclusion, we argue that there is still a battle
to be won for open and engaged research. For a culture of engaged research to be
sustainable in the medium to long-term requires ongoing recognition and acceptance
of its progressive value(s) by researchers, universities, funders and ultimately,
policy-makers. |
