Design Your Strategic Research Career
Participants will work in small teams to design the career strategy of a fictional early career researcher who wants to become a recognised leader in their field within 10–15 years.
Together, they will make strategic decisions about:
- Research focus

- Research impact
This interactive activity highlights that there is no single correct path to a successful research career, but that strategic thinking and intentional decision-making can make a real difference.
