Successful research depends not only on ideas and data, also on how we work together. In this course, early career researchers explore how communication, presence and unspoken power dynamics shape collaboration in research environments.

Through practical exercises, reflection and guided feedback, participants learn how to communicate with clarity and confidence, navigate challenging interactions, and build trust across disciplines, hierarchies and cultures. The course focuses on recognising unhelpful communication patterns and developing more constructive, partnership-based approaches to working with others.
