This workshop is aimed at PhD and early-career researchers interested in taking their first steps towards networking beyond academia.
The workshop is being piloted as part of the Developing Business-Aware Academics research project based at the University of Exeter Business School. We are seeking postgraduate and early-career researchers to take part and provide feedback before and after the workshop to help us refine future sessions and contribute data to the project evidence base.
