Finding a Perfect Research Collaborator: How to Build a Robust Research Network

Session Agenda

Research collaboration is the key to build and maintain a successful research career in today’s globalized world. Interdisciplinary, inter-organizational, and international collaborations facilitate research advancement by bringing together a unique mix of talents, resources, cultures, and scientific knowledge.

Research networks are also very effective in case of clinical research. However, most young researchers find it immensely challenging to establish good collaborations. Researchers need to find compatible collaborators, maintain the existing collaborations, and recognize opportunities to work with them. This webinar in collaboration with AcademicLabs, a specialist platform to facilitate easy research collaborations, aims to train researchers for initiating long-standing and fruitful collaborations.

Through this session, attendees will learn:

• Introduction to research collaboration and its different models
• How to identify the right research collaborators and initiate a collaboration?
• How should collaboration be arranged?
• How are researchers’ contributions managed in academic collaboration?
• Tools for collaboration
• Introduction to AcademicLabs and their role in research matchmaking
