[Commlist] Creative Practice Research Seminar Series: Building Impact and Articulating Research

The MeCCSA Practice Network are excited to announce a new seminar series 
designed to support early career researchers (ECRs) and experienced 
academics working in creative practice research. This series offers 
practical guidance and insights into how creative practice can be 
effectively articulated as academic research, how to plan for impactful 
outcomes, and how to navigate institutional frameworks like the REF.

Each session is facilitated by leading experts in the field and provides 
opportunities for hands-on learning, peer discussions, and feedback. 
Whether you are just beginning your research journey or looking to 
refine your approach, these seminars will help you develop the skills 
necessary to communicate the impact and significance of your creative 
practice.
