A brilliant day at University College Cork as part of the ENGAGED Open Research and Public Engagement Roadmap Roadshow. Each stop on this journey brings a slightly different perspective, and UCC really stood out for the depth of thought and honest discussion in the room. There was a clear shift in mindset, really challenging what it looks like in practice. Who is at the table, whose voices are missing, and how we move beyond tokenistic engagement to something meaningful. A huge thank you to the team at University College Cork for hosting us and for creating such a thoughtful and engaged space for discussion. Momentum is building. Conversations are deepening. And step by step, we are moving towards a research culture that is more open, inclusive, and connected to society. #LetsGoEngaged #PublicEngagement #OpenResearch

A fantastic day at South East Technological University as part of the ENGAGED Open Research and Public Engagement Roadmap Roadshow. It was a real privilege to bring the ENGAGED Roadmap into the room with researchers, staff, and stakeholders who are genuinely interested in shaping how research connects with society. What stood out most was the openness. People are asking better questions. Not just how to do research, but who it is for, who is involved, and how it creates real impact beyond academia. Across the discussions, workshops, and conversations, there was a clear appetite for practical ways to embed this into everyday research practice as a core part of how research is designed and delivered. Huge thank you to the team at SETU for hosting us and for the energy and engagement throughout the day. This is how change happens. One room at a time. One conversation at a time. Building towards a national culture where research is done with people, not just for them. #LetsGoEngaged #PublicEngagement #OpenResearch #SETU

Got a lot out of today’s SETU session on Ireland’s open research path to 2030+. The enthusiasm from @civicmichael.bsky.social was palpable and @drfairytalesci.bsky.social’s call for co‑conspirators was inspiring. There’s plenty to ponder (and act on) from @engagedroadmap.bsky.social

Lovely to read this Rob. It was such a great session! There is something powerful about bringing people together around open research and actually moving it forward in a real way. Delighted you got so much from it, lots to build on now.

ENGAGED Roadmap roadshow at University of Galway. Real conversations on moving research from “for people” to “with people”. Strong engagement, clear appetite for change. #Publicengagement #OpenResearch #LetsGoEngaged

Good ideas don’t happen alone. They happen when people connect the pieces. Different perspectives. Shared goals. Working together. That’s the spirit of ENGAGED. We’re breaking silos and designing a more open, inclusive research culture across Ireland. #Openresearch #Publicengagement

This is what open research should look like. People in a circle. Talking. Listening. Building ideas together. Not locked in offices. Not top down. ENGAGED Open Research and Public Engagement Roadmap is co-creating Ireland’s roadmap for open research with communities, not just academics. Real voices. Real input. Real change. Pull up a chair and get involved. #OpenResearch #PublicEngagement

What Will We Leave Behind? Every research decision we make today is a message to the future. Will it say: "We listened." Will it say: "We included." Will it say: "Knowledge belongs to everyone." The ENGAGED Open Research and Public Engagement Roadmap project isn’t just planning for tomorrow’s research culture, we’re shaping a legacy where transparency, trust, and community matter as much as metrics. You don’t need a PhD to change the future. You just need to be in the room. #OpenResearch #Publicengagement

Not Just About Access, About Power Open research isn’t just about sharing data. It’s about sharing power. At its heart, the ENGAGED project asks: Who gets to define what matters? Whose knowledge gets funded, published, preserved? We’re not just opening the door to research, we’re rebuilding the house with community voices at the centre. If you’ve ever felt like research speaks about you but not with you this is your invitation. #OpenResearch #PublicEngagement

Who Gets to Shape Knowledge? Who gets to ask the questions? Who gets to decide what counts as knowledge? At ENGAGED Open Research and Public Engagement Roadmap, we believe research should be co-created, not handed down. That means including community voices, lived experiences, and under-represented perspectives in every part of the process. We’re building Ireland’s first public engagement and open research roadmap. With you. #OpenResearch #Publicengagement
