Hosted by the Worldwide Universities Network (WUN)
Networking is commonly acknowledged to be an essential part of career development, whether in academic research or elsewhere. But for many researchers at the outset of their career, it’s a real challenge. This short and highly interactive workshop will explore the benefits and techniques of networking for professional development by discussing what networking means for different people, how it works in different situations, and by trying out some simple tools to help each participant develop an approach that fits them as an individual.
You’ll explore how to put your individual strengths to work in making connections and share ideas on the opportunities available to network for career development. You’ll also take a look at how to mitigate the impact of personal weaknesses, as well as what to do with the potential threats to your ability to network.
