The Enterprising Researcher: Making The Most of Opportunities
November 27, 2019 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
The research environment offers many opportunities for enterprising individuals. Designed for postgraduate students and early career researchers, this series of workshops will interest individuals who would like to find out more about being enterprising, and how it fits in with the research environment.
Sessions will give you the chance to identify and reflect on your own current research practice, think about how you could use your enterprising capabilities creatively for your own benefit and that of others and how to identify opportunities which are worth pursuing. You will gain inspiration from the experience of other enterprising researchers from a variety of disciplines, backgrounds and careers stages and explore ways in which you might develop your confidence, energy and ideas.
Session Three:
Conveying passion, enthusiasm and confidence in yourself and your research shows that you are open to opportunities and that you are keen to pursue new and enterprising ideas. This session will include a panel discussion focussing on one key feature of successful enterprising behaviour – putting ideas into action-in other words, not just having great ideas, but actually being willing and able to try new things and take the first steps.
