This interactive workshop will support participants to make the most of short periods of study, admin, teaching preparation or research time. Participants work together to create a personalised plan of action combining High Intensity Productivity (HIP) with focused goal setting. The session considers the biggest reasons for procrastination and participants learn how to break larger research, teaching, admin and study activities in to manageable and achievable tasks. The session benefits from integrated protected self-development time to trial the tools learned in the session.
There is also the opportunity to reflect on how participants will implement their learning in order to make the most of future opportunities and avoid procrastination.
“The whole course was useful, the delivery in terms of sharing with others and actually completing activities (productive work) made it a great experience. The practical as well as theoretical made you realise you can actually do better.”
PhD Researcher and Clinician, University of Leicester 2020

In this session, aimed at postgraduate researchers, we will talk about Academic Misconduct at the University of Cambridge and explain the definitions of plagiarism and self-plagiarism. We will go on to explore some famous examples of plagiarism in different contexts to get everyone thinking. Then we will look at some specific examples of academic plagiarism and how things can go wrong. Finally, we will look at ways to avoid the pitfalls and finish off with some practical tips. There will be time for questions at the end of the presentation too. By the end of this session, you will be able to avoid plagiarism and have a good idea of how to improve your writing, referencing and data management skills to prevent accidental plagiarism in your work.

Research in the 21st century is global, and research teams are intercultural. 35% of Cambridge research students are from outside the EU; and postdocs are the most diverse group by nationality, representing almost 100 countries. This diversity is one of the University’s biggest strengths. Yet intercultural communication is not without its pitfalls and misunderstandings. It takes conscious discipline to think about one’s own cultural assumptions and to try to make sense of others'.
This workshop will give you some tools to help identify where national culture might be having an influence on your professional and social interactions, where common misunderstandings can occur, and how to address potential challenges. The content of the session is informed by research form intercultural studies and refers to culture as a framework of shared values, attitudes and behaviours. It explores the nature of generalisations and the relationship between national culture, other layers of diversity (e g gender, professional, generational differences) and personal values.
