Introduction

This 1st year module is designed to help you develop and enhance your team working and networking skills in a research environment. It is based on a 3-day residential or one full day face to face and 4 sessions on-line, where the emphasis is on the role of teams within the research environment in order to create quality outputs. Some work is required by participants between sessions.

The ways that different personality types interact together will be explored and experienced in practice by solving novel problems in groups.

After the course you should further develop your skills by applying what you have learned in team situations. This course is designed to help participants:

get to know each other well enough to begin the process of creating their own collaborative networks
gain the confidence and skills to work in research teams that cross the boundaries of individual disciplines
gain sufficient self-knowledge that they can reflect on their personal impact on others and how this influences the dynamics of their work group
feel confident about their ability to build valuable and positive relationships with their supervisors and colleagues

The programme emphasises the importance of relationship building, uses Myers-Briggs as a model to give some insights around your preferences and comfort zones. In particular we shall consider the skills one needs to

manage your supervisor effectively
solve problems in collaboration with colleagues
creative thinking in research and across disciples
make best use of an academic conference
gain research funding
commercialise research
negotiate effectively

Please note: MIBTP students who have completed the Coniston course may submit their Coniston workbook in place of the 'Teamwork in a Research Environment handbook'.
