Within higher education it is ironic that experienced and novice researchers rarely take the opportunity to come together to share their research - whether these be to discuss findings, puzzles or developing projects. Within this paper, an innovative strategy building on these assumptions is described. It is entitled: 'Pre-run, Re-run' and is a learning community where specific processes are modelled by all to help build professional communication, collegial respect, and scholarship. Our evaluation showed that there is value in bringing together researchers especially when they have diverse profiles. Also, mixing experience with naivety, by inviting professors and junior staff to fraternize equally, offers the possibility for wide ranging discussion, as well as sharing a range of successful techniques, knowledge of the big picture and ways around obstacles that would otherwise be off-putting for novices. The less experienced perspective can equally be revitalizing because newcomers to scholarship often bring a fresh focus and enthusiasm and energy for practice. While this was a local innovation, which may not be generalizable to all settings, others hoping to bring together disciplines may benefit from utilizing the successful methods to build a productive, mixed research culture.
在高等教育领域，具有讽刺意味的是，经验丰富的研究人员和新手研究人员很少有机会聚在一起分享他们的研究成果——无论是讨论研究结果、难题还是正在开展的项目。在本文中，将描述一种基于这些假设的创新策略。它被称为“预运行、再运行”，是一个学习社区，所有人都在其中模拟特定流程，以帮助建立专业交流、同事间的尊重和学术氛围。我们的评估表明，将研究人员聚集在一起是有价值的，尤其是当他们具有不同背景时。此外，通过邀请教授和初级职员平等交往，将经验与天真结合起来，为广泛的讨论提供了可能性，也为分享一系列成功技巧、全局知识以及克服新手可能望而却步的障碍的方法提供了机会。经验不足者的观点同样可能带来活力，因为学术领域的新人往往会带来新的关注点、热情和实践动力。虽然这是一项局部创新，可能无法推广到所有环境，但其他希望整合不同学科的人或许能从利用这些成功方法来构建富有成效的、多元的研究文化中受益。
