Connect and collaborate
Research collaboration
Speak to researchers working in related areas and connect with groups looking to support new research ideas.
Connecting with other researchers can offer different perspectives and open up opportunities to collaborate on projects, as well as providing emotional and educational support.
Some researchers are also happy to act as mentors to those looking for guidance in their research career. If you’re looking to reach out, the organisations listed below have established research collaboration groups and are a good place to start. All of them welcome approaches from new researchers and will be happy to talk to you about your ideas and how to get the support you need.
