Abstract
The Solent Student Partnership Project is a cross-institutional co-creation scheme hosted by the Education Office at Solent University. This chapter discusses how and why, over a three-year period, the project has moved from being hierarchically managed to being operationalised through a matrix environment. The chapter starts by outlining the evolution of the co-creation initiative in our context. It then shares our mixed experiences of moving our project into a matrix environment via three themes of contradiction: (1) losing sight and gaining visibility, (2) cohesive and conflicting identities, and (3) ground moving and groundbreaking. The chapter concludes by reflecting on the lessons learned and proposes some possible ways forward for staff-student co-creation in a matrix environment.
