You have either heard of podcasting or you have a favourite podcast and you’ve thought, "I should do that!” But where do you start? How does it work? What skills do you need? 

This remote workshop is designed for anyone who wants to understand the basics of podcasting. It isn't specific to ‘professional’ or ‘personal’ projects so everyone is welcome. (*Future in-person or one-to-one workshops may be available for more advanced users with a foundation set of skills and/or a research/creation project ready to go. If that’s you, please feel free to inquire)

Mike Kennefick, a Business Development Specialist working with VIU to create research projects for students between academia and industry will provide details about research partnerships opportunities. In particular, Mike will discuss the Accelerate, Elevate, Business Strategy Internship and Globalink Research Award programs. This will be followed by an open discussion for participants about Mitacs and its offerings, as well as eligibility criteria for these programs.

EDI is more than just recruitment!  Come to learn about specific practices for embedding Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) throughout your research program.  This session will introduce important concepts in EDI and to help you integrate EDI principles, actions and measures throughout your research and scholarly activity.  This session is led by Dr. Roisin Mulligan, SCRA Research Development Manager and Carole Gray, Human Resources Advisor, Recruitment. 

This workshop is intended for faculty who are or will be supervising students conducting research involving human participants. The workshop will focus on how supervisors can support students to submit well-developed applications for ethical review, and will include discussions on REB jurisdiction, benefit/risk analysis, managing risk, undue influence, internet tools, and the REB review process, etc.  Led by Dr. Chris Turner, VIU's Research Ethics Officer.
