Our conference is a chance to hear how our Make it Public strategy is helping to make transparency in research easy, and about the impact it is having on health and social care studies.
With partners and research participants, we’ll explore why transparency is everyone’s business, and how we can continue to drive progress to make sure that trusted data about health and social care studies is always shared for the benefit of all.
The goal of the conference is to encourage and share best practice in research transparency. There will be sessions focusing on the Make it Public strategy and looking at research transparency in action. Attendees will hear from a wide range of partners and public participants for an engaging discussion on the impact of transparent research on patients, communities and the way we work and live more broadly.
If you would like to attend the event, please register here. The event takes place online, and it is free to attend
