We’re excited to share the Public Involvement in Education and Research (PIER) partnership’s latest Annual Report.

PIER turned 20 years old this year and its influence and impact has continued to grow. PIER is all about bringing lived experience into the heart of education and research, and it is central to everything they do. This year, strong collaborations with 66 community organisations has enabled work with groups who are often excluded from education and research, ensuring that those most affected by health and social inequalities help shape solutions, and this work is feeding into wider conversations about inclusion, inequality and change.

Looking ahead, PIER will continue to build genuine relationships,  and creating flexible ways for people to get involved.

We would like to thank all of our BU colleagues for your continued support and collaboration, and encourage you to share this report widely!
