In today's fast-paced world, remote work has become the new norm, presenting unique challenges for engineers. To excel in this environment, you need the right skills. Building psychological safety is especially challenging when working across cultures, making it crucial to learn how to create an inclusive environment where every voice is heard and valued, all while achieving your team's goals.
Join our workshop to:
- Delve into the importance of psychological safety and rapport building.
- Learn techniques to foster trust and connection among team members in a virtual setting.
- Explore the intercultural aspects of remote collaboration, as diverse teams often encounter unique communication and cultural challenges.

Diversity, in its various dimensions, has been firmly established as a key driver of innovation. However, creating inclusive environments to harness the power of diversity requires preparation. Whether we are aware of it or not, bias towards individuals who are different from us is inherent. Understanding the origins of bias and how to outsmart them is the crucial first step toward fostering a more inclusive space at Cambridge.
Join our workshop to:
- Explore the nature of biases.
- Learn about the origins of stereotypes.
- Discover strategies to outsmart bias.

In today's competitive landscape for future engineers, technical skills alone won't make you stand out. Recruiters now prioritise 'soft' skills, such as collaboration, communication, time management, and resilience. These skills are challenging to teach and showcase.
Join our workshop to:
- Understand what soft skills are and why they matter during your time at Cambridge University and in your future career.
- Learn how to recognize your unique soft skills and effectively present them to future employers and within the academic context.
- Gain practical guidance on leveraging your strengths and improving areas of development in soft skills.
Unlock the potential of your soft skills to excel both at Cambridge University and in your future engineering career and join us for an interactive online session on 25th October.

Technical skills are a must-have, but a new skillset is emerging when it comes to finding the right candidate for employment. Those harder to teach and quantify skills, the so called soft or interpersonal skills, have become critical in the recruitment process of global companies and are tested at various stages of job applications.
In this workshop, you will reflect on:
- What are soft skills and why you need them?
- How do you know which ones you have?
- How can you demonstrate them to your future employers?
- How to develop them?

Have you ever struggled with other students' or colleagues' styles of working? Have you wondered why some people seem to be more direct than others, some don’t seem to be interested in socialising, or perhaps others are more relaxed about deadlines? Culture, and not only the national aspect of it, plays a significant role in how we learn to communicate and collaborate. Adjusting to cultural communication norms is more about shared values and expectations than speaking the same language. It requires a specific set of awareness, attitudes, and skills.
Join our workshop to:
- Discuss cultural preferences for working.
- Develop self-awareness of your working preferences.
- Learn strategies for developing the right skills that will help you develop cultural intelligence.

Writing for Engineers Refining papers for publishing: a course for post-docs
In this course we will work directly with text written by you, the course participants. We will analyse and edit extracts from draft and published papers, always with the aim of honing the language to improve clarity, precision and style. In doing so we will explore questions of grammar and key concepts in academic writing, learning to identify weaker areas and developing expertise in improving them.
The course consists of four workshops followed by one individual supervision.
