It’s already been a year since we started our Health CASCADE adventure. All Early-Stage Researchers (ESRs) from the Health CASCADE Consortium had been working hard to identify the theory, ethics, methods, implementation, and evaluation of co-creation, and apply it in different contexts.
Some questions that have arisen in our journey had made us realize that pragmatic and robust training is needed: Is co-creation another word for participatory research? Can co-creation ever be trusted? How can we apply it? Do clear co-creation guideline exist? Is co-creation a process designed to tick the box of consumer involvement? How can co-creation help drive sustainability by ensuring effective and meaningful engagement of key stakeholders?
We would like to hear your voice! Join our workshop to help us detect the training gaps in co-creation. Check back in early September, and we’ll have registration information.
