Our vision
Our vision is a world where diverse knowledge and experience is recognised and valued in the co-production of research - and beyond.

We are a co-production community where everyone is welcome. Together we learn, connect and champion co-production for lasting change.
We focus on amplifying the voices of those who want to be heard, including those who are often ignored or excluded, helping to ensure that we can be equal partners in the decisions that will affect our lives.

Our community has been co-producing Co-Production Collective from scratch for the last four years. That means we co-create all the different aspects of our work, from this website to our training packages and our ambitions for the future.
We do this through face-to-face (currently virtual) sessions, online tools and offline methods, learning together as we go.
This is very much still an ongoing process!

We support co-production projects and enable others to co-produce, bring people together to share learning and ideas, and build evidence and influence to make the case for co-production.
We started with a focus on health and wellbeing research and the majority of our activity is still in this area. However, we’re increasingly working across sectors, as well as policy and practice, to encourage everyone to embrace co-production!
Whether running training, publishing reports, or delivering commissioned projects for partners and funders, we put people at the heart of what we do.

Back in 2017, a group got together with an idea: to co-create a centre to support co-production in health research, innovation and practice. Funded by the Wellcome Trust and supported by UCL, we were originally known as the UCL Centre for Co-production.
Hundreds of co-producers joined our community and we’ve spent the last four years learning by co-producing together. In October 2020 we officially launched as Co-Production Collective!
Explore the blogs from our time as UCL Centre for Co-Production if you're interested in finding out more about where we've come from.
