Communities of Practice
What is a CoP?
The Communities of Practice (CoP) on the AEIP are collaborative spaces that connect researchers, innovators, and policymakers to exchange knowledge and build capacity.
Through interactive tools and inclusive engagement, you can be part of a team that supports diverse voices and curates useful resources. Insights from these communities will help shape policies and strengthen the link between education, research, and innovation to drive real societal impact. Participation requires registration.
