“…The second instance was the circumstances that involved me in the events leading up to the launch of the European Conference for Social Work Research in 2011 and the subsequent development of the European Social Work Research Association (ESWRA). Once again, the bones of this story can be found elsewhere (see Taylor and Sharland, 2014). I was indebted to numerous people in this regard.…”

This article is premised on the belief that the social work community needs to recognise that collaborative research – nationally or internationally – will take diverse forms. Setting up a standard model for such collaboration is likely to constrain too narrowly opportunities for good research. I begin by considering how ‘collaboration’ has been – and might be – understood within social work and research. I spend the main part teasing out the various senses in which I have sought, and encouraged others, to collaborate. These include developing homes for rigorous social work research, collaborative research and writing, crossing disciplinary boundaries, challenging national myopia, questioning conventional goods and ills, and doing the history of research.

“…The growth of international social work collaboration Jones and Truell, 2012;Kreitzer et al, 2012;Taylor and Sharland, 2015) highlights the importance and the efforts being made to engage with this important development. Thus, the topic of international social work is a fertile and necessary area of social work literature (Healy and Thomas, 2007;Dominelli, 2010;Hugman et al, 2010;Nadkarni, 2013;Spolander et al, 2014).…”

This article seeks to critically reflect on the experience and challenges of international social work research within a 10-country consortium of social work researchers examining the impact of neoliberalism on civil society and social work, under the auspices of a European Union, Framework 7, Marie Curie Action bid. The study enabled us to debate and examine the impact of neoliberalism on social work, to develop theory and perspectives, and to promote further debate on social work’s responses. We aim to critically explore the nature and growth of social work research collaboration, while reconnoitring the contextual difficulties for international social work research, along with the research trials, to enable collaborative research to be reflective, concerted and facilitative.

“…From its beginnings in Oxford in 2011, the annual European Conference for Social Work Research (ECSWR) has grown in number of participants and depth of presentations. More broadly, the European Social Work Research Association (ESWRA) has stimulated a greater quality and quantity of research across Europe during this time (Taylor and Sharland, 2015). This exciting growth included the development (since 2014) of 25 special interest groups (SIGs).…”

In 2021, the Evidence into Practice Special Interest Group was launched with online events. At the 11th European Conference for Social Work Research in Amsterdam in April 2022, the Evidence into Practice Special Interest Group had its inaugural in-person sessions. This short article in the ‘Research, policy and practice exchange’ section of this new journal, European Social Work Research (a collaborative venture involving European Social Work Research Association), has been written to bring the launch of the Evidence into Practice Special Interest Group to a wider audience and to encourage participation. The article gives something of the context for the Evidence into Practice Special Interest Group and a flavour of the presentations at the 2022 European Conference for Social Work Research.

The Creation of the European Social Work Research Association

Abstract: As the social work profession matures the need for robust knowledge becomes more pressing. Greater co-ordination is required to develop the research community, and an infrastructure to support this nationally and internationally.
