About this Event
Join us in Stockport for the first installment of the Mighty Mini Unconference!
The Mighty Mini Research Collective is a member-led community for independent researchers, micro businesses, and community interest companies (CICs) making a difference through social research.
We're passionate about research, but this conference is focused on how to sustain the business behind it.
What to expect:
- A welcoming, energising environment
- Practical business-skills sessions
- Supported networking
- Open-space skill- and knowledge-sharing
- Lunch and refreshments
- And yes, we do have bean bags!
You’ll leave with:
• New connections and collaborators
• Fresh energy and inspiration
• Knowledge and tools for sustaining a research business
The Unconference runs 10am-4pm. After the conference we will also be hosting a drinks reception to celebrate the book launch of one of our founders, Rowena Hay, 'A Practical Guide to Collaboration in Participatory Action Research'.
