The upcoming Lightning Bites, titled "Transforming Post‑Industrial Cities Together: Examples of Engaged Research Driving Change" will focus on engaged research – research approach based on collaboration between academics and residents, local governments and community organisations at all stages of the research process. The goal is to create knowledge that genuinely addresses local challenges and leads to lasting social, environmental and spatial change.
