Motivation Skills for Research Staff

Motivation is difficult to define, yet easy to lose. This workshop examines how researchers can enhance or recover their motivation from a theoretical and practical point of view. A three-stage plan to reset researcher motivation will be presented. Procrastination is a particular manifestation of reduced motivation and a toolkit for reducing procrastination will be co-developed in the workshop.

Communicating your Research

Researchers typically develop significant expertise and are comfortable communicating the customary style of their academic discipline. However, this may limit the availability of their research to a lay audience. This workshop pares back the concepts of communication to the basics to examine alternative styles of communication to support researchers in bringing their research to wider, more diverse publics.
