Join us to help develop recommendations to improve how "failure" is understood and experienced in HE!

We want to hear from academic researchers at ANY career stage - PhDs all the way to established professors - in ANY department or discipline.

*Please re-post to your networks!*

Join our study!
Are you a research academic based in higher education?

If so, we would like to invite you to an engagement workshop to discuss recommendations and accommodations that can be made to support researchers when navigating failure in higher education.

What is the research about?
Failure is often a predominant feature of academic research and can include things such as research grant paper rejections, non-promotion or supervision upgrades.

We are asking you to share your views on a framework of recommendations we have developed including the usefulness of the recommendations identified.

We would like to talk to research academics at any stage of their career (early, mid or late) who:
Hold a research post including – PhD students, Postdoctoral researchers, Research Assistants, Associates or Fellows, Senior Research Fellows, Readers, Assistant Professors, Associate Professors or Professors (clinical or non-clinical).

What will I have to do?
We would like to invite you to attend a focus group remotely over Microsoft Teams where you will discuss your experiences of failure in academic research culture. You will be asked:

Thoughts on accommodations to maintain wellbeing whilst navigating failure.

To feedback on a framework of recommendations developed by the research team and how it could be implemented across research cultures. This might include what works for whom and when in regard to this topic.

The focus group will take between 90-120 minutes and you will receive an e-voucher as a thank you for your time.

For further information, please use your institutional email address to contact us:

Important and timely work from @dianateggi.bsky.social and colleagues.

Findings highlight the urgency of improving home-based services and providing real alternatives to hospital, if existing policy narratives around choice are to become meaningful.
