Our aim is to support diverse people including researchers, community and patient organisations, students, PPI contributors, funders, health service providers and policy makers to come together for learning, discussion, networking and relationship building.
Various workshops are pitched to people with different levels of experience with PPI. This year we have two dynamic keynote speakers - Dr Simon Denegri on 'PPI and Policy' and Dr Kim Ozano on 'Power and Participatory Research'.
National PPI Ignite colleagues are leading interactive workshops on PPI Resources; Embedding EDI into PPI; PPI in Doctoral Studies; and more. Patient partners are co-facilitating and contributing to the workshop and panel discussions. And of course we welcome back annual essential topics such as 'PPI in Funding Applications' and 'Introduction to PPI'.
Due to the kind sponsorship of the Health Research Board Conference & Event Sponsorship Scheme, a limited number of grants or bursaries are available to facilitate the participation of PPI contributors/family carers/community partners who do not have access to other sources of funding. The bursary support covers the registration fee and a contribution for travel and university accommodation, if needed. To express your interest in the bursary, please email ppi-ignite@ul.ie providing your name, contact details, affiliated organisation (if applicable) and a few sentences about your motivation to participate in the summer school.
We are committed to making the PPI Summer School as accessible, egalitarian, diverse and inclusive as possible. If you have any specific requirements or questions, please email ppi-ignite@ul.ie
