ILP Optional Masterclass in Building a Thriving Research Culture - March 15th 2023
Combining openness, collaboration and innovation to thrive in research, in an uncertain world! A powerful one day workshop for researchers wanting to increase their impact and energy. Designed to help you positively influence your career and the research culture you operate in. Join us to explore the skills and mindsets needed to thrive in research in an uncertain landscape.
Masterclass Overview
Research intensive environments can be tough to navigate and, at times, we can feel overwhelmed, focused on the problems and powerless. This workshop is an antidote to that, using tools that equip you with core skills and approaches to help you thrive in research in Academia and beyond.
Join us for a focused day exploring the 3 development areas which will help you navigate uncertainty and increase your research impact.
