Lectures and seminars Inclusive and effective research collaborations

17-02-2021 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm Add to iCal
Online Online, zoom webinar

Research is increasingly a team-only endeavor, and teams grow and cross disciplinary boundaries to address complex scientific questions and societal problems. How do you bridge cultural, organizational, or disciplinary divides? How do you ensure buy-in and engagement from all team members over time?

Replay

In this webinar we will address these, and other, questions by: 1) defining the different dimensions of research collaborations and outlining key challenges for each; 2) introducing our approach for framing research collaborations to enable co-design, co-development, and alignment of goals, interests and priorities; and 3) touching upon key aspects of planning, decision-making and team communications.

 

Target group

Postdocs and junior researchers are the primary target group.

PhD students might also find the webinar relevant and are welcome to attend.
