Identifying and Engaging with your research stakeholders

Who should attend
Researchers and research-active staff at all stages of their career development.

Course Description
This workshop is designed to provide you with the skills and confidence to identify and engage effectively with the end users of your research (i.e, stakeholders) and/or those you propose to employ in a particular study to advance or validate a particular component of your research. It will include a mix of mini-presentations and breakout activities.

The presentations will focus on methodologies, current best practice, things to consider when choosing which method might suit your project, methods you might not have considered, avoiding common pitfalls, and top tips for success. The breakout sessions will enable you to prepare and plan in practice and will show you how best to communicate with diverse stakeholder groups. The workshop will conclude with a group discussion on next steps, and additional supports post-workshop for you.
