We are delighted to share with you news of the Academy’s recently elected incoming President, Professor John Shine.
The entire research sector is being encouraged to collaborate in order to drive innovation.
How can EMCRs, often at the coalface of such changes, form successful collaborations and thrive in this new environment?
Does our culture need to change if we are serious about driving innovation?
How can leaders in the sector foster a supportive environment for collaboration?
Kick-starting collaboration aims to address these issues and put EMCRs at the forefront of decisions which are changing the future of the research landscape.
A lot of resources about collaboration between different sectors already exist including a range of detailed reports, government resources, dedicated organisations, and popular articles. This is a collection of resources about collaboration which you might find useful. Please let us know of other resources you come across, so we can add them here too.
These ideas were developed by the EMCR Forum to support the careers of early- and mid-career researchers (EMCRs) in the research sector as it changes in response to the push for collaboration and drive for innovation.
The Career Flexibility Project is an online database to enable collaborations between industry and organisations which focus on research, to help EMCRs identify and gain skills which promote mobility and to highlight the skills of STEM EMCRs to industry and government.
