The Federation of Somalia Universities (FESU) members are cordially invited to the fifth USRN Online Forum co-hosted by the University Social Responsibility Network (USRN) and the University of Manchester. The Forum, themed “Social Responsibility in Research: Co-producing a Better Future”, will be held on Wednesday, 9 July 2025 with the following details:
| This forum will explore how universities’ core research function can advance social responsibility by showcasing examples of innovative practices in community-engaged and participatory research from around the world. As more researchers choose to partner with, and involve, communities in their work by co-producing and co-designing approaches to address real-world challenges, we hope to highlight how these methods can ensure research benefits society, empowers communities, and drives meaningful change. |
