The International Consortium of Research Staff Associations (ICoRSA) and CAPS are pleased to invite you to our upcoming online workshop, aimed at addressing the challenges faced by researchers who rely on stipends and fellowships. This event will take place on September 17th, 2024, from 4pm to 5.30 pm CEST (10am to 11:30am Eastern), and we believe your participation will be invaluable in shaping a comprehensive understanding and potential solutions to improve the working conditions for these researchers.
Workshop Overview: In academia and other research institutions, many researchers depend on stipends and fellowships, often facing financial insecurity, professional instability, and mental health challenges. Despite the intellectual fulfillment these fields promise, the reality for many is less promising. Research fellowships, typically used for PhD work or short-term research tasks, are often extended to postdoctoral researchers, reducing costs for institutions but also reducing access to regular employment benefits. Our workshop will delve into these issues, share personal experiences, and collaboratively discuss potential solutions. By understanding the negative impacts on working conditions, we aim to advocate for better policies and support systems that foster a more equitable and sustainable research environment.
Virtual Awesome: Strategies for delivering engaging presentations online
In this interactive online session, participants will build a tool belt of tactics to maximize engagement and attention when presenting and speaking online. By the end of this session participants will be able to:
- Apply YouTube strategies to communicate confidence and command attention
- Learn a series of strategies to simplify complex topics
- Understand how to create interaction and compel conversations
Although the focus will be in virtual engagement the tactics discussed can also be applied to in-person communication. Participants should expect to be on camera and interact in small groups as well as infront of the whole group. This session is designed to not only push you outside of your comfort zone but also to have fun and laughs along the way.
