This 24 March 2026 webinar provides guidance on how to effectively integrate public partnerships into MRC research applications. MRC is encouraging its research community to consider how public partnerships can inform and improve research and be of mutual benefit.

The webinar covers:
01:17 - Why public partnerships matter
05:58 - The difference public partners can make
20:24 - When and how to include public partnerships in funding applications

Our thanks to Professor Miratul Muqit and Amelia Dupuy, who joined MRC colleagues, to give a researcher and public partner perspective on the difference that public partners can make.
