Knowledge Exchange Live Lab: Co-Creation in Action, 11 September 2025, 09:00-17:00

Turn your research into real-world impact.

This immersive, hands-on training session – delivered by Code Switch Consultants – lets you experience knowledge exchange (KE) by doing it. You’ll co-create the agenda, collaborate with peers and an industry partner on a live net zero challenge, and leave with practical tools to embed KE into your research and career.

What makes it different?

This isn’t a traditional workshop. It’s a dynamic, co-created experience grounded in the UKRI KE Framework (KEF) structured around four pillars:

• KE readiness and co-creation
• Understanding stakeholders
• Designing KE in practice
• Embedding KE in research and careers

Why attend?

You’ll gain:

• Confidence to engage beyond academia
• Tools to design and articulate KE activities
• Insight into how KE supports funding, visibility, and career development
• A deeper understanding of how to influence policy, practice, and innovation

Who should attend:

Postdocs and late-stage PhDs from C-DICE partner universities. We strongly encourage participation from a diverse range of disciplines and perspectives – including social scientists, geographers, and researchers from STEM fields – to spark interdisciplinary collaboration and fresh thinking. All are welcome, but places are limited to 20.

Cost:

The cost of this course will be fully subsidised by C-DICE.  Booking is via the link at the bottom of the page.  Please be advised that in booking a place you are committing to attend the training and that your university could be charged if you do not attend without cancelling by the closing date.

Travel and Caring Support Fund:

This 1-day workshop will take place at the Sir Frank Gibbs Building, West Park at Loughborough University. As we do not want cost of travel or caring for others to be a barrier to engagement, C-DICE travel and caring support grants are available.
