The Inclusive Research Toolkit
It can be difficult to know where to begin with inclusive research. You know you want to do something… but what?
The Inclusive Research Toolkit provides a framework to start thinking about equity and inclusivity in your own research, with lots of resources, case studies and activities along the way.
How it works: The toolkit is organized into sections according to the stages of the research process. These sections each contain several key topics about different inclusive research practices. The toolkit is set up as a self-guided learning resource on Develop, and is supported through an interactive pdf workbook (which you can download and print).
BBI Innovation Training Programme
The Bristol BioDesign Institute is looking for ECRs with a keen interest in learning the fundamentals of innovation and research commercialisation, to join our Innovation Training Programme. Monthly training sessions, running from January-June 2024, will cover a range of topics.
In addition, participants will be matched with an industry-based mentor, to gain exposure to industry and to access the broader community and ecosystem.
