"... very impressed with the quality of the production … tackles
the importance and benefits of networking, both formally and informally
and a young researcher’s reluctance to join in. This can be a very
real issue for some young researchers."

The Good Networking Video - engaging with the academic community
Doctoral students need to build
relationships with others working in their fields and beyond.
Good supervisors encourage this. But it can be challenging and
takes many out of their comfort zone. The Good Networking Video will help
research students understand how and why they should spread
their wings and start engaging with the wider academic world. This video in
our series for doctoral students
was made in cooperation with Royal Holloway, University of London.

from the complete video here.
Based on engaging drama scenes, expert interviews and stories of current
PhD students, The Good Networking Video addresses:
Why networking matters
How to make good use of conferences
Networking in informal settings
Using social media and specialist online academic platforms
Being prepared for networking pitfalls and frustrations
The
Good Networking Video was produced with advice from Professor John
Wakeford, Director of the Missenden Centre for the Development of Higher
Education.
