Event
‘Developing your Academic skill set in the UK and International context’
Developing your academic skill set is a two-day British Academy supported workshop. It is for Ukrainian academics who are based in the UK and are unfamiliar with publishing in international journals.
The workshop is open to those currently supported by the British Academy, those supported under other schemes, and those who have arrived independently.
The event is primarily aimed at those in the Social Sciences, Arts, and Humanities – but academics from other disciplines will be considered.
It will provide insight into academic and research culture in the UK, and publishing internationally. There will also be the opportunity to network and build relationships with UK-based academics and journal editors in related fields.
