In these monthly semi-structured, online co-working sessions, researchers will set goals that are specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, time-bound (SMART) to get projects started, finished, or to keep them going. These informal group accountability sessions are designed to provide researchers dedicated time to work whilst also building peer-to-peer networks across the university. The timed sessions start with a brief welcome and goal setting followed by the first 45-minute work session; after a 15-minute break, the session ends with a second 45-minute work session. CRIS will facilitate the sessions and build connections between participants.
