We are delighted to invite you to the upcoming launch of our Inclusive Research Network on Tuesday 22nd October 2024 at 1:30pm – 3:30pm. The event is open to everyone, but is more specifically aimed at people from Black, Asian, and minority ethnic communities that are interested in research or are currently undertaking their PhD.

The event will be held online and will include a variety of activities designed to facilitate connections and foster collaboration. During the event we will hear from PhD students, research associates and pre-PhD candidates on the importance of networking and building networks throughout your academic journey.
The second part will be an informative session on the use of the LinkedIn platform and how to best utilise it. Our Inclusive Research Network is hosted on the LinkedIn platform, and we invite you all to join the network if you are not yet a member.
The event is also an opportunity to meet and connect with others. Prior to the event, you will receive a link to the Padlet Platform where we would like to invite all of you to share a little bit about yourself (this is not compulsory, but would be great for networking). Out of all the participants who have shared their profiles, we will draw 3 people during the event, who will each win a £20 voucher.
Networks take many shapes, and we would like the Inclusive Research Network to become a place of support and information sharing. We also hope the network will serve as a place of guidance to those starting their research journey and those who might be looking for work opportunities following their PhDs.
Following the launch, we are planning further events centred around discussions, sharing experiences, and learning in order to become better equipped to succeed in the world of research.
