Introducing the Methodological Toolbox

Our ‘methodological toolbox’ is a kit of useful tools, tips and hints to help researchers design a truly collaborative research project. The toolbox has been built to be as accessible as possible and can be used by anyone, from scientists to policy-makers to fishermen, interested in finding out more about participatory research processes. Click below to give it a spin!

Coming Soon

Planning is now well underway for our exciting, international symposium – the finale of the project, which will be held in February 2015. Keep an eye out for updates on this, and news from the next round of GAP2 exchanges: we’re sending fishers, scientists and policy-makers all over the world in the next few months, and we can’t wait to hear about their adventures.

Until the next time,

The Gap2 team
