Building strong professional relationships and being open to interdisciplinary collaboration can also greatly enhance your experience and impact within the team.

What is a research group?

A research group is a team of scientists, scholars, or professionals who work together to investigate specific topics or problems within a field of study. These groups are often based at universities, research institutes, or within companies, and may include a mix of senior researchers, graduate students, and support staff. The group collaborates on projects, shares resources, and publishes findings to advance knowledge in their area of expertise. Research groups can range in size and scope, focusing on anything from basic science to applied research.
