Citation: Adewole‑Elliott, Funmi (2025) A Community of Practice for Independent Researchers: Scoping NCACE’s Independent Researchers Network (IRN). [Discussion or working paper]

This scoping report sets out how NCACE’s Independent Researchers Network (IRN) can strengthen cross-sector research culture across the arts, culture, community and higher education ecosystems. It draws on: (i) NCACE’s track record of convening effective collaboration; (ii) a Roundtable Consultation with independent researchers; and (iii) a Network Mapping Exercise across academia, arts and cultural organisations, community initiatives and funders.
