Open Research refers to a set of practices that aims to make the constituent parts of the research process as ‘open’ (accessible, sharable, reproducible) as possible to demonstrate the research's quality, integrity and reproducibility. Sometimes referred to as ‘Open Science’ or ‘Open Scholarship’, open research can touch every part of your projects, everything from the decisions you make while planning projects, to how to collect and manage your research data and software to peer review, publication and promotion. Whatever form it takes, Open Research has benefits for academia, it benefits the public good, and it has benefits for individual researchers

Nevertheless, Open Research can mean different things to different subjects and different researchers and it is not always easy for researchers to know how and to what extent they can engage with these ‘open’ practices in their research. In this workshop, we will explore the research cycle through the lens of Open Research culture to consider the different ways you can make your research ‘open’.

Research Data Management (RDM) is vitally important for the success of a research project and is becoming increasingly important with major funding bodies, such as UKRI, the Wellcome Trust and Horizon Europe. This session will introduce some key concepts, including, the research data lifecycle, funder and institution requirements, and Data Management Plans (DMPs). We will then move on to practical advice for researchers on day-to-day RDM best practice, incorporating introductory advice on file management, data repositories and the use of AI with research data.

Sensory Refresh events are interactive sessions with activities to help you explore your sensory profile.

These are events you can drop in and out of, and free refreshments are available throughout.

This event is ideal for Neurodivergent people but is open to all as we can all benefit from understanding our senses better.

Networking is an increasingly key skills for any researcher, as it has great potential to open avenues to new perspectives, collaborations and opportunities. Networking doesn't only happening at conferences and meetings, as there are a wide range of opportunities to network online through social media and research profiles. In this session, we will give you an overview of the different types of profiles and forms of online presences you may be interested in setting up as a researcher. This will also include advice and guidance on managing multiple profiles and dealing with issues such as researchers with similar names or changing institutions. There will then be an opportunity to manage, update or set up any of the profiles covered in the session with the helpful guidance of the Open Research Team.
