Pitch your Research: Speed-Dating Style
Course description
Learn how to develop a clear and concise pitch to describe your research over timed, one-on-one conversations.
This fun networking event is designed to help you meet and establish connections across the Flinders research community. Researchers from all Colleges and all career stages are welcome.
To begin the session, Karen Ashford, Head of Media and Reputation, will present a 'how to pitch' workshop. She will help you develop a clear and concise pitch to describe your research. Karen will be joined by her co-host, Professor Lucy Lewis, College of Nursing and Health Sciences, who will share her own pitch and help our researchers refine their pitches.
Next, you will put these skills into practice in a speed dating style activity in which you will be able to discuss your research with others and explore possible collaborations.
There will be time at the end for informal conversations over light refreshments.
One of the successful outcomes of the last event was shared with us by Dr Lauren Woolbright:
"I was fortunate enough to end up paired with a colleague from a different college whose research aligned so well with mine that we immediately started collaborating on a project together. We might not have met otherwise. I am so grateful that we had this opportunity to connect our work across the borders of our Colleges."
This session will be held in the Alere Function Centre, L2, Student Hub. Please join us at 9:45am for a 10:00am start.
We have a limited number of spots available. Please let us know if you can't join us so we can offer a spot to people on the wait list. If you have any questions, please email researcherpd.rds@flinders.edu.au.
