End user and stakeholder engagement In the spirit of MIRA’s co-design and design thinking approach to research, MIRA has leveraged the expertise of its End User and Stakeholder Committee (EUSC) members. The EUSC includes representatives from government, industry, and community partners. This group informs MIRA’s research priorities, provides researchers with an opportunity to share their work and build relationships with external stakeholders, and offers varied, multi-sectoral perspectives on the challenges, wants and needs of older adults. MIRA's initiatives outlined in this report are a reflection of the activities MIRA engaged in to ensure input from stakeholders in all stages of research and program development. This has included the development of resources for end user engagement to be shared among the research community and creating interactive hubs for researchers and community stakeholders to promote collaborative interactions.
