Abstract
Participatory research, engaged research or community-based research are some of the terms commonly used to describe the methodological approach to include the researched into the research process as co-creators of knowledge. Recently, the European Commission has recognized this type of methodology as a contributing feature of its ‘excellence’ criterion. The CAREWELL-Transnational Families in Europe Project (JPI-MYBL, 2021-24) is an ongoing interdisciplinary and comparative project on transnational families and care arrangements. It relies on a participatory methodology to which partner organisations and peer-research assistants (or community researchers) are central. Roughly half-way through the project, project researchers from Sweden, France, Spain and the UK come together to share their insights and reflect on challenges and advantages to a broader audience.
