Principles of Equity-Based Co-Creation (EqCC)

This document is provided as a reference and background resource for CCSIP. EqCC informs CCSIP’s own approach to partnered research and innovation and the purpose of this document is to make explicit and outlines the principles, language, and practices and evidence associated with Equity‑based Co‑Creation (EqCC). CCSIP’s EqCC approach is, at its core, inspired by the foundational work of Dr. Gillian Mulvale and Dr. Susan Moll and other colleagues at the EqCC Hub at McMaster University, whose scholarship and practice have shaped the development of equity‑based co‑creation. While CCSIP draws on this document to guide reflection and alignment, it adapts and applies these concepts within its own governance structures, research contexts, and partnership practices.
