Enhancing Research Through Inclusive Methods: An Interactive Workshop

Description:

Are you an early career researcher or research staff member new to the field, or encountering challenges in recruiting diverse participant populations? Do you want to hear practical guidance rooted in experience?

Join us for an interactive online workshop on 25th June 2024 (10:30 - 12:00) where you'll take part in group discussions, gain practical insights and hear about tried and tested strategies for effectively implementing inclusive research methods.

 

Why Inclusive Research is Important:

Inclusive research practices are essential for ensuring that the findings of studies are relevant, valid, and applicable to diverse populations. By integrating inclusive methods, researchers can overcome barriers to participation, enhance the quality and impact of their research, and contribute to social equity and justice.

• Learn the Foundations: Gain a thorough understanding of inclusive research methods and why they are critical in today’s research landscape.
• Develop Practical Strategies: Create an actionable plan for your research, enabling you to overcome common challenges in recruiting and engaging diverse participant populations.
• Interactive Learning: Engage with peers and experts in breakout sessions, share experiences, and collaboratively develop solutions to real-world issues.

The workshops aims to help provide valuable group interactions and time to explore your own inquiries, due to this, spaces are limited. To ensure your space, please register promptly or add your name to the waiting list.
