Imperial has recently partnered with Newcastle University as a collaborator to launch VOICE at Imperial, an online platform that helps researchers involve the public in their research. VOICE believe that the public should have a say in health research that may ultimately affect their lives and value the perspective that only community members can give. VOICE encourages collaboration between researchers and members of the public through a plethora of events, lectures, debates and discussion groups on a variety of topics.
