On 2 October 2023, the Higher Education Authority-funded National Open Research Forum (NORF) Open Research Fund 2023 announced the successful funding of a project to establish new criminal justice research partnership which will be led by Dr Ian Marder of Maynooth University.
IPRT is pleased to be one of almost 40 partners who aim to embed a culture of interdisciplinary open research in criminal justice in Ireland as part of a new partnership to be established.
As one of the project affiliate partners and Partnership members, we will work collaboratively with other organisations to form a ‘Researcher-Policymaker-Practitioner Partnership’. Partners include universities and technological universities, criminal justice policymakers, agencies and oversight bodies, third sector justice services, civil society and minority advocacy bodies, and research infrastructure.
The Partnership will seek to determine collectively how to coordinate and embed a culture of open research among criminal justice researchers and in the criminal justice sector through a programme of research and engagement.
