Is this course right for me?

Target Audience: All staff involved in research and interested in how to develop more meaningful collaborations.

Collaborating across disciplines, departments and organisations is a great opportunity to produce research impact, contribute to the field and benefit from a range of perspectives and approaches. And, of course, it may also bring challenges. The expectations, assumptions and skills sets may be as diverse as the group. So, how you can start to construct a working environment that supports your effective collaboration?

By the end of this confidential and highly interactive workshop we will have:

• Considered the basis of your collaboration – what you’re all in it for
• Explored what works, and what doesn’t work, in collaborations, in your experience
• Examined behaviours that people commonly use in teams and how they can affect your collaboration
• Been introduced to a document and agreement about how you can shape your collaborations
• Used a number of tools to help articulate clear requests and feedback
• Applied all of the above to real situations and in the company of your peers and colleagues

A follow-on workshop focusing more on the work culture and relationships created in collaborations will be offered for those interested in a deeper dive – please register for this here: https://bookings.strath.ac.uk/Home/Course/6975
