Shaping Research Culture - Combining openness, collaboration, and innovation to thrive in research (in-person)

COURSE DETAILS

Join this in-person workshop, facilitated by Natacha Wilson, to explore the skills and mindsets needed to thrive in research and positively influence your environment.

The way we work and interact, with our peers and wider networks, has a huge influence on research outputs and outcomes. Our day-to-day practices directly influence how we, and our colleagues, work in this shared ecosystem.

A powerful workshop for researchers wanting to increase their impact and energy at a strategic time.

This workshop aims to provide you with a priority of core skills and mindsets to help you thrive in research and positively influence your working environment. You will also be able to share your lived experience with peers and participate in focused discussions.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

At the end of the workshop you will be able to:

• Define the role/importance of core skills and mindsets to help you thrive in research (Academia and beyond):   Openness, Collaboration/Networks, and Creativity/Innovation.
• Recognise the importance and influence of your own thinking styles (mindsets) and behaviours (knowledge, skills and more) to support an innovative research culture.     
• Prioritise areas supporting your own personal development.
• Encourage best practice and share your experience with peers.

A message from Natacha

"Navigating our volatile, ambiguous, complex and uncertain research environments can impact our ability to prioritise and focus on what matters. This workshop aims to provide clear connections between three key skills that impact personal impact and contribute to a thriving research ecosystem. It can be used as a road map to develop strengths and increase one's strategic outlook, as well as provide an opportunity to lead by example. This workshop has been developed with inputs from researchers and draws on evidence based research. It places people working in research at the heart of the ecosystem. I really look forward to meeting participants and explore the three skills of collaboration, openness and innovation."
