We are pleased to announce our Communities of Interest (CoI) programme. CoI foster connections between IAPSS community members who share common research interests and want to build and promote knowledge sharing in a focused area with a view to achieving clear objectives and outputs.
CoI comprise self-selected IAPSS members who define their area of research focus, shared objectives and meeting frequency. Each CoI will have a lead (or leads) who coordinate community members and interface with the IAPSS team to draw on a suite of administration, engagement and communication support from dedicated webspace, online meeting support, through access to translation experts. CoIs will also be given the opportunity to apply for a small amount of funding to support knowledge exchange activity.
At this stage, we are calling for new communities. There will be opportunity to join an existing IAPSS community in Spring 2025.
