Postdoc Academy Workshop: Creativity in Research

NewSpecial

Creativity is a critical part of research, helping people look at old problems in new ways.

In this practical workshop for postdocs, we will explore:

• creativity as a way of operating rather than a talent
• tools and techniques to boost your creative confidence
• how to apply creative thinking to your own research questions.

To get the most out of the session, think of a particular problem or challenge in your research that you would like to work on creatively in the workshop. You might find the breakthrough you’ve been looking for!

About the facilitator: This workshop will be facilitated by Dr Geraint Wyn Story. After completing a PhD in the Department of Plant Sciences at Cambridge, Geraint worked in a biotech company and as a researcher development consultant, before founding his company Cambridge Training Associates.
