- Publishing (choosing the right journal for MH research, collaborative writing)
- Bidding (where to bid, what for and how to construct productive teams and partnerships)
- How to work effectively together but also maintain a sense of disciplinary identity
- What experiences have participants had and how has this affected your research career to date?
