Following a roadshow, the project will train 20 researchers (our PEAS!) from the universities of MMU, Manchester and Salford and local SMEs via the GM AI Foundry in coproduction over several training sessions. This exciting programme will include public engagement skills, coproduction, and evaluation, focusing on co-production methods.
After the training our PEAS will have the opportunity to take part in an ideation event on the theme of Data and Artificial Intelligence Ethics, working with local communities in Greater Manchester. This will involve applying co-design skills to create project ideas in partnership with the community.
Following the project pitching to these communities, three separate, coproduced, community-based programmes of inspirational public engagement events/activities about data science and AI research will be taken forward.
This project has received funding from UKRI engineeringand Physical Sciences Research Council (ESPRC) Grant Ref: EP/W033488/1
