On 10 June 2025 The Young Foundation and UKRI brought together the pioneers who are transforming research and innovation through community-driven approaches. The conference explored how communities are reshaping what research and innovation can be, discovering inspiring stories and real-world learnings from UKRI-funded projects and beyond, spanning different fields, sectors, and ways of working. Together, attendees explored how to push boundaries to create better opportunities for everyone to participate in research and innovation, and spark ideas for future collaboration.
This video is of a panel session from the conference, where members of the accountability group of community researchers discussed why it matters how community-driven R&I projects are designed and delivered.
