The modern academic is part of a complex network of international scholars. Whether at conferences, job interviews, departmental events, hosting guest academics or simply during everyday life at university, being able to socialize and network in English are essential skills.
This 2 day seminar provides the opportunity for young academics to develop an awareness of their "academic identity", whilst practicing the skills and language of English small talk and networking.
