Science Conversations @NTNU: How to build and lead a strong research group

The key characteristic of a research team is that it comprises a group of people working together towards a common research goal. Team members may have different disciplinary backgrounds, different motivations and aspirations, and different cultural backgrounds. The research leaders’ responsibilities are numerous but, in this webinar, we would like to focus on: What is the best balance and composition of a research team? How to motivate the group and provide a collective sense of purpose.(develop teamwork, cooperation, morale, and team-spirit) How to establish, agree and communicate standards of culture, performance, and behaviour How to enable, facilitate and ensure effective internal and external group communications
