Rejection and Resilience

Rejection is a routine part of an academic career, and our ambitions – as individuals and as a University – can expose us to greater risk of rejection. This programme of activity aims to acknowledge that rejection is a normal part of the research process, and to create supportive spaces for researchers at all career stages to share their experiences and develop coping strategies. 

The programme currently includes in-person events, online toolkits and resources, and will continue to develop.
