In Detail

Are you looking to generate new research ideas and proposals? These multidisciplinary events bring together researchers from different fields to share their expertise, generate new ideas and proposals, and develop their research skills.

These workshops are typically focused on a specific research theme or challenge that is relevant to the attendees. Attendees give presentations on their own research and participate in brainstorming sessions to generate new ideas and proposals. Our facilitators help to guide the discussions and ensure that the goals of the workshop are met.

We help participants network with one another, share ideas, and form collaborations. They often receive feedback on their ideas and proposals and have the opportunity to evaluate the ideas of their peers.

Many research sandpit workshops include information on funding opportunities that can support the development of new research proposals. After the workshop, follow-up activities can be organised such as additional workshops and networking sessions.

Network & Share Expertise

We help participants from diverse backgrounds and disciplines to connect, compare notes and find common ground.

Create New Solutions

Participants can consider new approaches or solutions to issues they identify, and take away tangible tasks and actions as a team.

Tangible Outputs & Action Steps

A clear set of actions to be taken by the team after the workshop to continue improving performance.

TESTIMONIAL

“After the session, my colleague and I couldn’t stop talking about the new ideas we had generated in our heads, all of which happened in such a short period of time. I would recommend Creative Huddle to any company who have reached a creative stalemate.”

About our workshops

The informality of our workshops enables participants to relax, express themselves freely and find common ground with others. This lends itself perfectly to ideation and team-building by encouraging positive interactions and idea sharing.

When the day comes, we’ll carefully and skilfully guide your participants through a series of sessions and discussions to achieve your aims. We design sessions to keep the engagement and energy high, making sure everyone gets the chance to contribute. We’ll wrap up with key points and actions, and can record everything in a report afterwards if required.

What exactly is a Talkshop?

We're glad you asked! Simply put, a Talkshop is a cross between a talk and a workshop. They're short, punchy, thought-provoking sessions. We take a key concept and explain it clearly, then help your team explore it together to understand how it can help them in their work.
