Abstract
Since 2019 social work fieldwork researchers from UCC and Australia have been discussing challenges within field education placements both the general scarcity of placements and the impact of COVID-19. This led to an invitation for UCC to participate from 2021-2023 in two transnational student-led research projects. The placement environment is a supportive one that embodies principles of trust-building and learning by doing. In this project, a safe collaborative online space was created for students and academics to work together, share ideas and knowledge, and learn collaboratively about the research process. Students on placement in both Ireland and Australia worked together to co-write a journal article on a mutually agreed topic.
