This principle is about strengthening the capacity of the research partnership for meaningful engagement in the research process at all stages. Central to this is the valuable exchange of knowledge and skills within and across the research partnership. The competencies associated with this principle are focused on recognising different forms of knowledge and skills and embracing different learning styles and needs. As well as learning from within the research partnership it is important to identify what other skills and knowledge are needed that cannot be delivered by anyone in the partnership so that they can be brought in.
