Choose one of the following all-day workshops:

SERIES 1 Workshop: Navigating Two Worlds

This workshop gives you a chance to step back from the day-to-day demands of research and reflect on who you are becoming as a researcher and professional. Designed for candidates working across academia and industry, it explores the different expectations, values and ways of working in each setting. It also builds the confidence, resilience and self-awareness needed to work well across both. More than a professional development session, the workshop offers practical insights that you can use straight away. These insights can support your research, collaborations and career planning, whether you see your future in academia, industry, or both.

SERIES 3 Workshop: Leadership styles, conflict management and negotiation

Build the confidence and capability to lead effectively across diverse environments in this practical, skills-focused workshop. You’ll explore how different work styles and preferences shape leadership approaches and learn how to recognise and step into leadership opportunities within your current role. Drawing on the principles of situational leadership, the workshop equips you to adapt your approach depending on the context, whether working within academia, engaging with industry, or navigating collaborative partnerships. Through hands-on activities and guided practice, you’ll develop essential skills in negotiation, conflict management, and influencing others.
