This paper emerges from a wider project, Participatory Futures (EP/T025034/1), funded by the UKRI GCRF Cluster development programme. This situation is perhaps most relevant in international development research (Bradley, Citation2007 Georgalakis and Rose Citation2019). With a focus on global trade, policy cohesion, technologies, and public–private partnerships, the implied assumption within the targets of that goal is that partnerships within academic research practice are taken for granted or benign.Īcross disciplines, funders, and geographies in academia, partnership has implied the real-world relevance of a research project, the capacity to address complexity, the opportunity for inclusion of diverse perspectives, and most of all, the potential for impact. However, within that framework, and indeed within the goal targets and indicators, the role of academic research is opaque. The United Nations (UN) in conjunction with The Partnering Initiative, propose that the 2030 Agenda, including the 17 SDGs, encapsulate “a call for a new collaborative way of working” (Stibbe and Prescott Citation2020, 10). ![]() ![]() In terms of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Partnerships for the Goals (SDG 17) binds the other 16 goals together and is recognised as a necessary and desirable element of global working. These collaborations are often termed “partnerships”, with connotations of sharing, trust, equality, reciprocity, ownership, and respect (Prescott and Stibbe Citation2020). Recognising the complexity and urgency of global challenges, and in response to calls to enhance the impact and efficacy of their research, academics have sought to work with a range of individuals, groups, and organisations, including government, communities, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), and industry.
