In research academy you will be working in implementation groups with 3-4 other researchers sharing similar focus and ambitions as you. Implementation meetings differentiates from more classical sparring and feedback groups, by focusing on working with tangible tasks the participants bring to the table (i.e., a draft of a research groups strategy, a funding application draft). A consultant facilitates and organize the meeting in order to make sure you get the right support and inspiration in regard to the aims and tasks you work on.
You will be required to attend 8-10 facilitated implementation meetings over 12-36 months, focusing on one or more themes you are currently working on. For each 1.5-hour meeting, approximately 1.5 hours of preparation is expected. Preparation typically involves watching one or more learning videos, working on improving content from others, and further developing the inputs received from the group and the consultant.
