SRLN: Challenging conversations and non-violent communication

The Scottish Research Leaders Network (SRLN) is a collaborative initiative advancing research leadership across Scottish Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). The network aims to make research leadership training accessible and available to all Scottish researchers and build a connected community of research leaders who collectively strengthen Scotland’s research cultures. 

Drawing on resources provided by the UKRI Future Leaders Fellows Development Network (FLFDN) for research leadership, participants will benefit from the collective expertise of facilitators and opportunities to connect and learn from peers across Scottish HEIs. The network is open to all staff in participating institutions who are aspiring, new or established research leaders. 

This event will focus on having important conversations, an essential leadership skill for managing professional relationships. Having important and respectful conversations requires very careful planning to make them effective. This event will provide a useful planning structure for having challenging or important conversations, and outlines an approach to promote honest and respectful dialogue.
