This PhD workshop will consist of two main parts. During the first one each participant will present their research plan, followed up by a feedback session; in the second part we will focus on learning and improving our transferable skills.
The workshop will kick off with everyone presenting their research, main research questions, main problems and issues in conducting research, source material, etc. This will be followed by critical but constructive feedback and support from your peers. Because all participants will come from very different cultural and educational backgrounds and are in different stages of research and even different disciplines, we are sure that this will be a fruitful opportunity to enrich your own research with new perspectives and solutions from people with similar problems and experiences.
The second part of the workshop will focus on transferable skills and common research-related problems. Because there are so many skills that will enhance your research and you yourself as a researcher, we think it will be best to tailor this part of the workshop to your needs. Possible topics are (but are not limited to) interdisciplinary research, academic English, how to write grant proposals, scientific posters, communication and networking skills, etc.
This workshop is aimed at both current doctoral students and MA students who are considering starting a PhD in the future. In case of MA students they can use the first session to present their preliminary project proposals with which they will seek PhD funding.
