** available for bookings from Monday, 02 September 2019

Successfully communicating the key ideas of your research is an essential skill for all researchers. Join us for a fun and interactive session where you will build a LEGO® model of your PhD topic and present it to a group of fellow researchers. Through creating and explaining your model you will practice discussing details about your research, your wider aims, key findings and motivations. Even if you have only just started your PhD, you can begin to extract your wider ideas during this session. Participants will come away with skills to better articulate the core essence of their research to a wider multi-disciplinary audience.

Previous participants have said:

‘I was really surprised by my ability to break down complex PhD research to make it easier to understand and communicate.’

‘Fun and I loved the creativity with model building’

‘The playful process was very absorbing, thank you.’

This session offers opportunities to gain skills/behaviours outlined in the following Researcher Development Framework (RDF) subdomains: A3 Creativity, A2 Cognitive abilities, B1 Personal qualities, B2 Self-management, B3 Professional and career development, D2 Communication.
