The Interdisciplinary Research Spotlights are developing with your insights. If you're involved in research, take part in the Spotlight Interdisciplinary Research Survey to share your expertise and the exciting areas you're eager to explore next.

Coventry HDRC invites you to its yearly webinar, where a range of guest speakers will discuss the importance of research and how it can impact our communities.

We all hear the term research, but it is often difficult to define what it means for each individual as it is so broad. In this webinar, speakers will provide clear examples of how they have applied research on small and large scales and its impact on local people's lives. These examples have been applied in local authority, voluntary, community, social enterprise organisations, and university settings. These research projects often happen across all as part of a collaborative approach and involve the public.

The event will feature Dr Nathan Hodson of WMS discussing using participatory research to develop the Pause Parenting App
