Thinkwell Workshop: Developing a Research Track Record on a Shoe String

Learn how to create research outputs that don’t cost much money.

There are ways to build a research track record that require less money and can give you the start you need.

Academics and researchers are constantly being told to increase their research outputs if they want to get promoted, funded or even keep their jobs! But it becomes a catch-22 when you can’t do much research because you have no money, but no one will give you money because you haven’t done enough research. Despite this, there are ways to build a research track record that require less money and can give you the start you need.

In this workshop, you will learn how to create research outputs that don’t cost much money including:

  • Finding small pots of money and PUBLISHING
  • Working with research higher degrees and other students and PUBLISHING
  • Working with others and PUBLISHING
  • Creating 2-for-1 deals and PUBLISHING
