LK11 Conference
Research and Solidarity
Gdańsk, the birthplace of the Solidarity movement, will host the 11th Living Knowledge Conference – a vibrant forum for anyone committed to community-driven, collaborative research. Whether you’re an experienced researcher, a practitioner, or just beginning your journey in engaged research or citizen science, this is your space.
At Living Knowledge, we believe in interaction over passive listening. Expect lively discussions, participatory workshops, and sessions designed to tackle real-world challenges together. From these exchanges, we aim to spark collaborations that benefit us all – and the communities we work with.
Join us in Gdańsk to connect, learn, and shape the future of research rooted in solidarity.
Pre-conference: 7 July 2026

The conference warmly welcomes everyone involved in supporting, facilitating, or conducting community-driven, collaborative research—uniting both familiar faces and new voices in a vibrant community of practice. We are especially eager to hear from fresh thinkers and early career researchers and practitioners working in community-based research, engaged research, and citizen science.
Living Knowledge Conferences are all about meaningful exchange rather than one-way presentations: look forward to lively discussions, interactive workshops, and hands-on dilemma sessions. Through this dynamic meeting of people and ideas, we aim to spark synergies that will enrich not only ourselves but also the communities we represent and collaborate with.
Come to Gdanks and join us—share your ideas, connect with like-minded peers, and help shape the future of community-engaged research!
The Conference is organised by University of Gdansk
with a special support of the
Centre for Sustainable Development
and the Finance and Strategic Project Office.
