Description
Research culture is the environment in which your research happens, it
includes the ways we collaborate and communicate; the behaviours, values
and expectations that shape the research process and mechanisms by which
your work is recognised and rewarded. This workshop is specifically
designed for PGRs to understand how research culture has an impact, what
you can do to positively influence the culture around you and the wider
implications of workplace culture on your career going forward.

Objectives
By the end of this workshop participants will be able to:

* Describe the key aspects of positive research culture and its
importance within the research environment
* Evaluate the culture within your own research environment and identify
actions you can take to improve research culture
* Recognise the significance of positive workplace cultures in shaping
your personal and professional development, then use this understanding
to inform career planning

Benefits of attending:

* Develop actions for you to improve the research culture in your own
research environment
* Become more aware of workplace cultures and how they impact your
career development
* Meet like-minded researchers from across the university and share
ideas around research culture
