The Partnership series of seminars<\/a> on Global Environmental Challenges was paired with a concurrent set of masterclasses which aimed to <\/span>catalyse and support collaborative, interdisciplinary research. The masterclasses were <\/span>led by the seminar presenters (and members of their research teams in some cases) and were attended by 18 researchers and collections staff from the two institutions.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Increasing numbers of interdisciplinary research calls are available which require expertise from a range of disciplines, and the implementation of this series was<\/span> supported by leadership teams across both institutions who recognised a need to support the development of their research-active staff. This opportunity focused specifically on increasing our academics\u2019 understanding of what it takes to lead complex cross-disciplinary, multi-institutional projects. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The overall goal of these activities was to directly address partnership priority<\/a> areas, aiming to build capacity <\/span>and leadership\u00a0<\/span>skills\u00a0<\/span>in mid-career and senior academics who might lead large\u00a0<\/span>research funding\u00a0<\/span>proposals<\/span> and projects.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"The masterclasses focussed on <\/span>logistics<\/span>, <\/span>methodology<\/span>, and lessons learned by the presenters, who have successfully designed<\/span> and delivered <\/span>large<\/span>-scale<\/span>, interdisciplinary projects. Sharing experience is invaluable for research development as well as addressing global concerns, and feedback from masterclass attendees<\/span><\/span><\/span> was overwhelmingly positive. Attendees confirmed that they<\/span> gained confidence, inspiration, time to think more broadly and widen their networks, and\u00a0 enjoyed learning from senior colleagues, and that they have\u00a0<\/span>applied this practically by reaching out more and aiming to gather different views when designing research.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
