GETTING STARTED WITH INTERDISCIPLINARY COLLABORATIONS
Presentation Slides and Chatbox transcript now available 

A multidisciplinary approach requires a combination of skills including a willingness to listen and learn about other disciplines, to see patterns and make connections, to have a wide ranging network, to ask insightful questions, facilitate others to take part, problem solve in a solution focused way and to be open and creative. 

In this interactive 90 minute online workshop looked at how to be open to opportunity for interdisciplinary collaboration and the key skills required to identify and approach potential collaborators. 

DEALING WITH THE MEDIA -FREE MEDIA TRAINING AND ADVICE FOR SEB MEMBERS

Have you been approached by the media for an interview or to comment on your research and not sure what to expect or how to approach it?
 
Getting your research covered in the media is a very exciting moment but can also feel scary if you do not have experience and are not sure what to expect. SEB members can benefit from free advice and training on their first media appearance through our partnership with Sense about Science. If you would like to learn more get in touch with [email protected].
