This networking mini-series comprises two workshops and an optional one-to-one follow-up session.
The konfer collaboration clinic will run on the 19th of June in the afternoon. It follows Jargon-free communications for networking beyond academia which will run on the same day in the morning. The two should be attended consecutively and the registration form is for both events.
The networking mini-series is being piloted as part of the DBAA research project. If you choose to participate, you will be asked to sign a research consent form, and complete evaluation questionnaires before and after the sessions. The results will contribute to the project evidence base and will help to refine future iterations of the sessions.
