Communities can provide an invaluable source of peer-support. In addition to offering guidance materials, communities may offer training events, networking opportunities.

There are also opportunities to get involved and contribute directly to a healthier, more open research culture. This can include working with an initiative such as EORI, or perhaps starting a community within your own school, department or field of study.
