The group has been active since October 2017 and currently consists of 13 members, all based in the Grampian region. The group was established with a strong commitment to diversity, bringing together a wide range of backgrounds, interests, and experiences in public involvement in research. We provide valuable public perspectives across the research, educational, and engagement activities of the Aberdeen Centre for Evaluation (ACE). Our focus is on contributing to new research project ideas, operational and strategic aspects of PPI&E within ACE, and public engagement initiatives. Additionally, our members are involved in individual research projects, for example, serving as co-applicants or advisory group members.
ACE staff and collaborators can connect with the group through its coordinator, Dr. Magdalena Rzewuska Diaz, at magdalena.rzewuska@abdn.ac.uk.
