Brigstow Institute Toolkits
At Brigstow Institute we have been developing a series of toolkits to help support researchers in navigating coproduced or interdisciplinary research journey. These toolkits are fun ways to facilitate serious discussions, and create an opportunity for the research team to develop more understanding about each other and develop the research ideas further.
-
Research Lexicon
The Research Lexicon explores different definitions and etymologies of words that you might each bring to the project as well as assumptions about their meanings across disciplines.
-
Exploring Interests, Developing Questions
The Exploring Interests, Developing Questions Toolkit facilitates an iterative process of finding share interests, developing research questions and designing a project.
-
Engaged Beings
The Engaged Beings Toolkit helps team members to communicate and understand each others individual motivations, practical needs and ways of working.

Working Together Dodecahedron
The Working Together Dodecahedron Toolkit facilitates a group to explore team motivations and expectations of a project as well as how to work together and carry out the research.

Cube of Context
The Cube of Context Toolkit is an aid for you to introduce your collaborators to your professional context and to be curious about each others.
