Conflict may arise in different ways during the course of your research - usually when a need isn’t being met, or a disagreement arises. Developing the way you understand and address conflict situations will improve your communication skills and your relationships, both within the research environment and outside of it. You will use conflict resolution theory to better understand colleague relationships and difficult situations. The focus is on learning to manage conflict in a more effective way, choosing from a range of techniques for handling conflict in contexts that are relevant to you.

This workshop is conducted in a safe and confidential environment where various issues related to conflict can be discussed.
