Objectives
Practitioners in the Share stream have identified that their goals are to:
- Share their work with others including lessons learned and best practices
- Stay connected to the social R&D sector to know what is going on in this space
- Build connections with other practitioners that they may end up collaborating with
- Support the work of others through a Peer Input methodology
- Connect on challenging topics that need to be addressed by the field
Target
This stream of the CoP is being designed to serve a range of levels of practitioners who are eager to learn from and with one another.

Format
Practitioners in this stream will be engaged on an as-need basis to form Working Groups around specific projects. These working groups would support the development of tangible outputs and events to advance the social R&D field.
Examples of projects include:
- Providing input in the design of the social R&D practice gatherings and roundtables
- Developing and providing feedback on knowledge products to serve the field
- Addressing funding or policy issues that are holding back the field
- Contributing towards codifying and defining social R&D to include a diversity of methodologies and practices
