Since 2014 • International Association for Practice Doctorates (IAPD) • website
The IAPD was launched in July 2012. The purpose in the IAPD is to build an international community of practitioners in professional and practice-led research.

The intention is to open dialogue and learning involving communities of researchers that historically have tended to remain largely located within such continental spaces around the globe. It now attracts members from higher education institutions across the UK, Australia, continental Europe, India, New Zealand, Scandinavia and Hong Kong and SE Asia.
