Background

This online workshop Doing Knowledge Exchange during the COVID 19 pandemic – What lessons have we learnt? was hosted by the Low and Middle Income (LMIC) Research Network at the University of Glasgow.

The move towards online and digital platforms has led to innovative approaches to overcome barriers to the active participation of all project stakeholders. This workshop will provide an opportunity for researchers and research partners to share experiences and identify good practices. The discussion will be used as a basis for a guide setting out key challenges and effective knowledge exchange strategies for projects working in the Global South.
