8, May 2025 02:30pm–04:30pm
Webinar
The Royal Agricultural University's ‘Bridging Fields: Working Effectively with Farmers’ programme is aimed at researchers from all disciplines and at all levels who are interested in working with farmers and in farmer-centric research.
Who is the programme suitable for?
- All researchers whether early career or established
- Those new to farmer-centric ways of doing research
- Researchers already working with farmers
Gain the skills needed for effective on-farm research
There is increasing funding and support for research that prioritises the challenges, knowledge, and experience of farmers. However, on-farm research requires practical and personal skills that can take years to acquire ‘in the field’.
This programme is designed to equip researchers, at all levels of experience, with the specific theoretical and practical knowledge needed to co-design and run effective on-farm trials as well as enhancing researchers’ skills at collaborating and communicating effectively with farmers.
How will the programme be delivered?
The 'Bridging Fields' programme will launch in summer 2025. They are currently co-designing a range of options, including online workshops and a residential course at the Royal Agricultural University. With thanks to the Rothschild Foundation, all of the activities will be offered free of charge.
To kick the programme off, they are hosting a two-hour webinar.
