Are you ready to take control of your research? As an academic, you're probably juggling multiple projects, requiring effective planning and execution. As an academic, you probably also lack the time to devise a proper strategy.

In this interactive session, you’ll discover the core elements of project management and how to apply them in your research projects. There's no complicated methodology, just practical tips and templates you can apply right away. With the help of an experienced facilitator, you'll establish an approach that's right for you.

Learning outcomes

Through discussion, activities, and examples, you’ll learn to:

• Define your research goals and objectives
• Create a realistic project schedule
• Track your progress with milestones and celebrate success
• Communicate effectively with stakeholders

This workshop equips you with the skills and tools you need to achieve your research goals on time and within budget.

Target audience

Researchers of all stages and in any discipline
