About this Event
Embedding Creativity in the Research Ideation Process
"Effective researchers are creative, …They recognise and value diverse contributions and approaches to research and can apply, translate and share research in a wide range of contexts”.
Do you feel stuck with your research? Do you want to learn new ways of finding interesting research questions worth answering?
You are in the right place. Join us for an exciting in-person workshop curated for PGRs and ECRs across the University of Exeter focused on boosting creativity in your research ideation process! The sessions will give you practical tips, fresh ideas, and hands-on exercises to boost your creative flow.
This is a Researcher-Led Initiative funded by the Researcher Development and Research Culture team at the University of Exeter.
