Researcher Realities annual event

We launched Researcher Realities in May 2023. It is an annual event featuring a mix of online and in-person sessions. Information about what happened during the Researcher Realities 2026 event, can be found below.

Researcher Realities is an umbrella initiative that invites conversations among and across the research community about the hows of research – the lived realities of being a researcher. This includes conversations about the contexts and circumstances that inform decisions, what to do when things go wrong, how to navigate challenges, what success looks like, and much more. To shift the focus from outputs and outcomes to research processes supports our ambition to create and foster an open, transparent, and inclusive research environment. These conversations are envisioned to allow best-practice sharing, championing unheard and underrepresented voices, and building community. We encourage these conversations in different formats and settings, including an annual event (you can check the recordings from annual events can be found here, pop-up in-person events, and curated blog series).
