RKE Friday Social: Co-Creation

The RKE Social is back with a bang! Refreshed, renewed and invigorated by a subtle twist that will see our last Friday on the month get togethers (very loosely) themed around current research and knowledge exchange agendas. First up - Co-Creation and the art of working in partnership with end-users in the design and delivery of research and knowledge exchange. This event is being appropriately hosted within Digital Innovation's new home in The Shed (entrance behind the Faculty of Science and Engineering's John Dalton Building) , John Dalton West (no.2 on the campus map).

We'll be there from 4pm and we're delighted to announce that we'll be joined by Dr. Timothy Jung who will talk us through his augmented reality research including a demonstration of Google Glass as well as Prof Rebecca Lawthom who will give us a quick run down of the principles of co-creation with community partners in research. We'll also be joined by Digital Innovation's founder Paul Bason who will give us a quick tour of the wonderful new facility and Jane McFadyen from the Manchester School of Art who is going to show us how knitting is a metaphor for engaged research.

And of course, we'll also be providing all of the usual RKE Social activities including the honesty bar and of course a chance to kick-back, relax and catch up with new (and old) colleagues at the end of a no-doubt busy working week.

Connect. Collaborate. And Co-Create.
