Initiating Collaborations with External Stakeholders & Partners

Course description

Foundations of Impact and Engagement webinar

Discover how to connect your research with the needs and interests of industry, government, and community partners.

Join us for an hour of highly engaging and practical discussion in the webinar where we learn how to identify organisations and individuals aligned with your reseearch, and gain simple, actionable strategies for starting conversations that could lead to collaboration or funding.

This session draws on insights from supporting thousands of researchers across Australia to build purposeful partnerships that drive research engagement and impact.

This interactive session will help you:

  • learn how to spot early signals of alignment with external partners
  • build confidence in reaching out to potential collaborators
  • get tools to map out who you should talk to next—and why.

Whether you're new to external engagement or looking to sharpen your approach, this session will help you open doors and extend the reach of your research.

Facilitated by Emily Chang, Co-founder and Partner at Cruxes Innovation. This session will be run online via Zoom. A link will be sent to you via calendar invitation prior to the session.
