Using the Research Skills Framework

Join us in this online session with Tomomi Sasaki and Dave Hora, creators of the Research Skills Framework.

This framework aims to encapsulate the breadth of skills you need to run research projects, and tools built on that framework to chart out your skills.

The Research Skills Framework was built on a Research Ops community project launched in 2018 to answer researchers and research managers' most burning questions about careers and skills:

• What's next? How do I get there?
• What does "better" look like?
• How do I find resources and mentors?
• How can I have more influence / impact / purposeful work?

The result was a set of tools and a report that helps us make sense of all researchers skills, in different stages. You can see more here: https://researchskills.net.

This meetup will be a short presentation about the Research Skills Framework as well as a breakout activity where you will build your own map. We will teach you about the most important and immediately useful parts of the framework, to give you a new way to think about your own skills and growth as a person doing research.

Who is this event for?

This is an event for researchers and people with practical experience doing research, and with a desire to to invest time and effort in growing research skills.
