HRA spotlight Bahrenfeld – Expanding your networks and audiences
Research funders and policymakers are placing ever greater emphasis on collaborative grants which reach across disciplines and sectors, and on Knowledge Exchange at all stages of the research and innovation pipeline. To achieve this, we need to continually refresh and enlarge our networks, find and enlist new collaborators, and identify and attract new audiences.
During this workshop, you will:
- analyse your existing network, identifying strengths and potential gaps
- consider strategies and techniques for expanding your networks and ensuring that these remain diverse
- explore possible barriers to interdisciplinary and cross-sector collaboration
- review current and potential audiences, users, and Knowledge Exchange partners for your work.
