The project directly contributes to addressing sexual harassment (SH) at the workplace, which is a widespread and underreported form of gender-based violence across the EU. The TEAMWORK 2 project is a direct continuation of the REC-funded TEAMWORK 1 project (ending in April 2022), whose research activities resulted in a better understanding of the issue of sexual harassment at the workplace, and a set of recommendations that will contribute to its more effective addressing at the local and national level.

As part of the RISE project’s mission to foster inclusive and impactful research practices, a series of workshops was recently held across Germany, Spain, Belgium, Ireland, and others. These sessions aimed to uncover the challenges that Social Economy Organisations (SEOs) face in participating in Engaged Research (ER). The workshops brought together a diverse mix of SEO representatives and other key stakeholders from academia, policy, and the private sector to collaboratively explore barriers, gaps, and opportunities.

RISE will build the skills of social economy organisations (SEOs) to partner in projects with research institutes. This will enable more engaged research (ER), a practice that creates more socially impactful projects through collaboration between researchers and communities. SEOs can be the key to accessing communities and practitioner expertise and achieving real change, but they can lack the capacity necessary to navigate the research landscape. RISE will address this need.

This document is part of the work carried out in WP2 – Learning Content. One of the key objectives of this WP is to identify and better define the gaps and barriers faced by Social Economy Organisations (SEOs) staff when participating in Engaged Research (ER). This has been achieved through a series of workshops, implemented in the countries of each RISE partner, ensuring that these gaps are co-defined collaboratively with all relevant stakeholders.
