Description | Project management is a valuable skill that can be applied right from the outset of doctoral research. It is also a skill that prospective employers highly appreciate - both inside, but especially outside, the university environment. The doctoral research project presents an ideal context in which to learn and apply the basic processes, tools and techniques of project management. Participants in this workshop learn how they can use their limited resources effectively. Ideally suited to the beginning of the research project, understanding the concepts and practices of project management and applying them to their doctoral thesis will help participants to guide the research process towards its completion, and to build vital skills for their future career.
Course Objectives After this course, the participants are able to:
Content
Methods Short theoretical inputs, exercises, small-group discussions. Participants work on applying the theory to their own projects. Target Group Participants should already have an outline of the project's content or have written a project proposal. No prior knowledge of (classical) project management is assumed. The workshop can be attended at any stage of the doctoral work, to greatest advantage during the first half of the project. Transfer Phase The transfer phase is an integral part of the course. In the time between the two course days, participants will apply several project management methods to their own projects and bring the results to the second day (approximately 6 hours of work).
