Research Community Initiatives
A community to belong to throughout your research career — not just a service to call on when you are stuck.
What this service covers
A research community is more than a mailing list. It is a set of ongoing activities that keep scholars learning, sharing and supporting one another between the milestones of their own work. We run and support initiatives that make that possible — and we are building more.
Scholar circles
Regular peer-learning groups, by discipline or by research stage, where members present work in progress, review each other’s drafts and share what they have learned.
Early-career mentoring
Structured pairing of new PhD scholars with those who have recently completed, so the practical knowledge of the doctoral journey is passed on.
Research Insights
Our published series of practical articles on methodology, analysis, writing and publishing, written for scholars and open to all.
Internships & assistantships
Opportunities for students and early-career researchers to work on live projects and learn the craft of research by doing it.
Community events
Open lectures, panel discussions and research showcases, in person and online, that bring scholars together across institutions.
Research Network (coming soon)
A platform where members can find each other, share work and form collaborations directly.
A clear, guided process
