Researcher Connect promotes the development of excellent communication skills for international, multicultural academic contexts in order to improve researchers' international opportunities. 

This programme aims:

• To enhance the productivity of individual researchers and, in turn, provide their universities and research institutions with a competitive advantage in the fast-moving international research environment. 
• To build capacity for early career researchers (up to 5 years) and recent PhD graduates with inclusive participation based on gender, ethnicity and geographical difference.
• To improve individual researchers communication and research skills and research quality as a whole.
• To increase the number of (joint) international journals and to strengthen research collaboration through this series of online training workshops.

We are inviting early career researchers, who:

1. can effectively communicate in English (B2 level or above)  
   
2. are practising researchers and can commit to the training schedule (see the schedule below)
3. can confirm that their research organisation/university is permitting their full attendance (of which an attendance certificate will be awarded at the end of the training)   
4. can commit to one or two deliverables with concrete outcomes as a result of this training, e.g. in order to aid the publication of research, sharing sessions to wider researchers, increasing research connections and collaborations.

The places are limited and applicants will be selected based on the above selection criteria.
