Developing Inclusive Reimbursement Guidance for Public Contributors

Cardiff University

How do you pay for public contributions? And how do we make sure it enables, not blocks, inclusive engagement?


This poster shares our journey in creating practical, flexible reimbursement guidance that values public involvement in universities. As demands on people’s time and finances grow, fair payment isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s essential. We explore how institutions can build systems that support genuine participation, not just tick boxes. Come chat with us about what’s working, what’s tricky, and what’s next.
