An equitable future for research and innovation: Building sustained community involvement in knowledge production

This summary report shares the results of discussions with community representatives about how we can improve the ways in which knowledge is produced, used and communicated across the UK. These discussions focused on how formal institutions such as government, research funders and universities – which is typically called ‘the research and innovation (R&I) system’ – can more equitably involve those community groups and organisations with less power or representation through the way they fund, create and value knowledge.
