Stories from Collaboration: what works, challenges, and how to make your collaborations fly
Academic publications are more fun when you collaborate! With a track record of over 17 publications together in just three years, Lynn and Janis will share what has enabled them to leverage each other’s strengths and have some fun along the way. This session will explore what collaboration looks like, by exploring different collaborations, what works and doesn’t work, how the roles vary and what has lasted. Both work in other collaborations outside of this highly successful partnership as well. We will explore the joys and the challenges and why there are a few collaborations we would both prefer to forget!
This session is open to UNSW staff.
