Ask us Anything

Are you an Early Career Researcher interested in collaborative research, but not sure where to get started? Applying for a collaborative grant, but want to be aware of potential challenges? Or are you right in the middle of a collaborative project and would appreciate some advice? Then this event is for you!

The Early Careers Network of the Collaborative Social Science Domain (CSSD) warmly invites you to our upcoming “Ask us Anything” panel event.  We are extremely lucky to have four excellent speakers, all of whom come from different disciplines and career stages, but are very experienced in collaborative work. During our event, each of them will provide a short introduction to their work with a focus on their collaborative experiences, before we will have a panel discussion aimed answering all of your questions about successful collaborative research!
