What is ‘Reverse Big Ideas’? 

Big Ideas is part of an annual programme of research and engagement activities at LJMU that allows the university to share collaboration and knowledge exchange with its local communities. 

‘Reverse Big Ideas’ flips the script with community groups and speakers taking the lead in sharing how their interaction with LJMU’s teaching and research is enhancing community partnerships.  

These research and engagement opportunities allow our communities to: 

• Share exciting research in the Liverpool City Region 

• Meet and chat with staff and student researchers 

• Network with guests including culture, arts and community groups, businesses, local government and education representatives
