AdminHistory | 'Part of the Making a Difference: Collaborating with Users to Develop Educational Research Thematic Seminar Series.The aims of this seminar series were to refine understandings of how knowledge is shared between researchers, policy makers and practitioners across education communities.The intention in doing this, was to increase the capacity of the research to make a difference. A core principle in the setting up of TLRP was to increase user engagement in the research process. This means more than just inviting users to be respondents or sharing findings with them when projects are near completion. Meaningful user engagement raises potential challenges to researchers and funders whose perspectives of the key issues may differ from that of practitioner users.However, funders (and researchers) are themselves users in this process'.
