Seminar hosted by the Early Career Researcher Forum of the Royal Society Te Apārangi and the eSocSci Early Career and Postgraduate Network

The practice of networking—or interacting with others to develop professional connections—is central to most professional work environments, particularly within research-related professions. People with gregarious, even extroverted, personalities can seem innately skilled networkers. Yet others might be baffled or intimidated by the prospect, lacking the confidence, inclination and experience to ‘do’ networking altogether. With guest panellists from a range of research-related fields, this seminar focuses on sharing experiences and tactics that demystify the practice of professional networking.
