Abstract
The Collaborations Workshop 2018 (CW18) took place at The School of Mathematics, Cardiff University from the 26th to 28th March 2018. 90 people attended the event to discuss the themes of the workshop: culture change, productivity and sustainability. With a mix of lightning talks, keynotes, Q&A panels, discussions with speed blogging, collaborative ideas sessions, mini-workshops & demos, a social programme and a Hack Day in the agenda, CW18 was a feature-packed and immersive event.
Highlights
This year, we had two keynote talks on the workshop
The first one, about culture change, was delivered by Kirstie Whitaker, and John Hammersley presented the second one about productivity
People seeking perfection are important for culture change because they are the ones pushing the ship forward, but everyone must remember to be kind, constructive and respectful of the effort other people are making towards the change
