The Rethinking Research Collaborative (RRC) was an international network of networks including research organisations, civil society organisations, social movements, international NGOs and research brokers, training providers and funders who were committed to working together to explore the politics of participation in knowledge for international development and to encourage more inclusive and responsive collaboration in order to produce more relevant research.
The last of the four ‘core seminars’ focused on how research is communicated within partnerships. We started the day by thinking about the meaning of communication (and particularly the dual issues of representation and dissemination), how it relates to our broader framework for analysing research partnerships, and what it means for the issue of evidence. We then heard the presentation from our final partnership case study and discussed it in relation to our broader experiences, guided by our evolving framework. In the afternoon, we focused on the issue of communicating our learning from the seminar series itself. After discussing the aims, content, audience and forms of communication we focused on developing the two primary outputs from the series: a resource pack (discussion guide) and a conference. We concluded the day by defining next steps for this final communication phase.
