To me they are similar-but-different in that both try to find a practical application for (basic) research, but maybe in different ways. Perhaps applied research uses basic scientific knowledge to address real-world problems, while co-produced research is a collaboration between researchers and (non-academic) users of scientific information to produce more meaningful science products.
What are your thoughts?
Could co-production research be a sub-group of applied research?
Do you have examples of either or both from your own work?
I would agree that; co-production research is frequently a sub-group of applied research. I would like to point out that a very important product of applied( co-production) research is the knowledge, skills and training of the person who conducted the research, which make them very employable to industry.
Thank you Matthes and Michael!
Matthes, I agree the answer depends on the industry (or scientific field) people work in, which is my intention. I am trying to get an understanding of what people think co-produced science is in their field and how they think it is different (if so) from applied research.
Michael, that's a good point and a good argument for pursuing such a career.
