CSO – academic collaboration: theory and practice – Food Policy Briefings

The Food Research Collaboration has at its heart the bringing together of academics and civil society organisations with a common interest in UK food policy.  Over the last three years it has strived to encourage collaboration between organisations on joint ventures including a workshop in October 2016 on CSO-academic collaboration and the potential for pursuing this in the face of increasingly challenging economic and political circumstances.  This Briefing Paper stems from this workshop and offers a review of the literature on collaboration as well as a summary of the four case studies presented on the day.
