ARC West led training in knowledge mobilisation and co-production

If you’re interested in learning more about knowledge mobilisation or co-design and co-production, the University of Bristol has two ARC West led courses for you in 2026.

The Bristol Medical School short course programme is offering one day courses in knowledge mobilisation on Friday 6 February and co-design, co-production and participatory action research on Monday 2 March.

The knowledge mobilisation course will introduce the key concepts and definitions in the field. It takes you through the process of designing a knowledge mobilisation strategy for a research project.

The co-production course focuses on involving members of the public, to ensure more democratic, relevant research that makes a difference in practice. It’s particularly useful for researchers considering using co-production, co-design or participatory action research, people co-designing services and interventions or anyone wanting to find out more.

Discounts on course fees are available for University of Bristol staff, and also staff working in public health in local authorities, the NHS, UKHSA or OHID in the South West region, or those working for medical charities. Further details on booking arrangements, course fees and discounts are available on the short courses website.
