🥔"The same boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg" was just one of many profoundly useful takeaways from the International Research Culture Conference last week, I'm so grateful to have been able to take part! #IRCC25

Our team of research development facilitators were proud to be invited to showcase the University of Liverpool’s Narrative CV support model at yesterday’s International Research Culture Culture Conference.
There was plenty of food for thought at the conference and we came away feeling inspired

Had such an inspiring day at the Thrive symposium this week. So many ideas to take forwards and can't wait to see what happens next with the Mission projects. And bonus points for the location adjacent to Batman filming on Hope Street🦇🍿

Research and Partnerships team, UoL @livunirpteam.bsky.social · 27d

The Thrive team at @liverpooluni.bsky.social hosted a wonderful and thought-provoking symposium this week. They shared a new approach to increasing diversity and inclusivity in research leadership. Plus three fantastic AHRC-funded Mission projects. This is just the start... 💡
