This media and communications workshop is designed to ensure that, the next time you address a live camera, a podcast, a conference audience or an interview panel, you’re equipped to get your message across confidently, engagingly and effectively.

This interactive workshop is designed to help doctoral students working on practice-based and practice-led projects to understand the criteria for research applied by UKRI and others, to stimulate discussion of the challenges involved, and provide constructive exercises to help define, articulate and present the research dimension of their work, developing vital skills for writing up and dissemination.

This introductory workshop is designed to de-mystify peer review in the arts and humanities, examining it in a broad context, and analysing and developing the necessary critical skills.

This workshop focuses on the preparation for talking about your research, rather than the delivery of presentations. By using storytelling techniques and focusing on the message, this workshop will help researchers communicate their passion to any audience.

This workshop run by two ex-BBC journalists and experienced programme-makers will give you the skills to create effective and engaging podcasts about your research. Podcasts are the most accessible “windows” to your research and and can make a big impact on various audiences.

This session intends to raise awareness of the history of academic freedom, the different definitions that are both legal and de facto (rights in practice but not in statue). It will be a chance to participate and consider the current complex debates on academic freedom and the current legislative changes being considered in the UK.

This training is directed at students on editorial boards of Open Access (OA) graduate journals, peer reviewers of OA journals and researchers looking to set up their own OA journals or engage with them in future.

The day will consist of a variety of interactive online exercises and group discussions that align with the Digital Care Kit for Developing Activist Communities of care.

The session will be run by two facilitators, encouraging participants to engage collectively and creatively in relation to the eco-anxiety through interactive online groupwork.

In this 2 hour 15 minute workshop we will identify a range of different challenges you may face during your PhD research experience and ways you can generate more positive outcomes.

Engaging with this workshop will enable you to explore the commonalities, contributing factors, and impact of perfectionism and imposter feelings.

In this workshop you will choose from a range of techniques for handling conflict in situations that are relevant and meaningful to you.

This programme is for researchers who want to prepare for, initiate, or engage with negotiation conversations - willingly, or reluctantly!

In this interactive session, you’ll discover how AI-powered tools can help you write faster, improve clarity, and streamline your process

In this interactive session, you’ll explore cutting-edge AI tools and techniques designed to streamline your research process. Learn how to harness the power of AI to find the most relevant material, save time and energy, and take your work to the next level.

This workshop addresses the all-too-common problem of front-loading the writing process, whereby some students spend the bulk of their time researching, leaving their write-up until the end, with too little time for thinking.

In this workshop we introduce you to a forensic approach to reading. We’ll explore how the writers you admire capture and hold your attention, looking for what works – and what doesn’t work.

You have reams of research, numerous bits of writing that need to be joined into a single narrative, rough thoughts and notes, teeming references. How do you bring these into coherence and begin refining your narrative?
