The Big Emerging Minds Summit

Workshop Programme

Over the last four years Emerging Minds has supported around 40 research projectsSpecial Interest Research Groups, and Cross-Sector Placements, as well as hosting 24 early career researchers through the GROW Researcher Development Programme and internships.

The Summit programme was very much built by them – all those who led workshops have been supported by Emerging Minds in some way, and we were thrilled to offer this opportunity for them to showcase findings, air challenges, and use the collective imaginations and experiences of fellow Summit delegates to plan next steps for their research.

An incredible amount of work went into each of the 24 workshops, which were all linked to our 4 research challenges. Whether or not you could attend the Summit, the workshop pages below now hold a wealth of information including slides, PDFs of resources, live tweet threads, videos, photographs, and reflective artwork. While we’ve tried to include as much content as possible here, all the workshops were structured differently so their pages are too.
