Welcome to Involvement@York. We champion and support public involvement and participatory approaches in research across the University of York.

We make it easier for researchers and members of the public to work together. We do this by connecting researchers with the public to improve the reach, relevance, quality and impact of our research.

We also want to make research, the research process and our research culture more open and accessible to all members of the public.
