Workshops

In this workshop we will explore the ways we can communicate our research to different audiences and the benefits this can have in developing our understanding of our own research. You will have the opportunity to reflect on the forms of research communication that have or haven't worked for you, as well as the consideration of impact and appropriateness of research output formats for different audiences. This includes but is not limited to written, visual, audible and immersive mediums and will touch upon the idea of Open Research. You will get to explore why these have or haven't worked for you and as a result, look at new and existing ways in which you can communicate your research.

Open Research is a broad and evolving field encompassing various practices, all of which contribute to a more transparent, responsible, and ethical research culture. In this interactive workshop, we will explore some of the research practices that enable Open Research, under the University's Open Research Skills Framework.

We will discuss what these practices entail within different research disciplines, the tools and systems that enable open and transparent research, and how a more open research culture can benefit researchers, the sector, and society in general. We will reflect on how Open Research can be applied to your own research, and signpost to the University's Open Research communities, activities, support and training, via the University of Manchester Office for Open Research.

By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:

• understand Open Research practices
• Identify Open Research practices that can apply to your research
• reflect on the value and challenges to implementing Open Research
