ADVANCED RESEARCH & PUBLICATION TRAINING PROGRAMME

Last month, we launched our first ever online training programme for advanced research and publication. The training programme was offered as two work packages running from 1st to 6th July and from 8th to 13th July. We had participants researching different aspects of heritage, culture, urban and development studies, and the built environment which lead to some very engaging and interactive sessions.

PACKAGE 1: Advanced Research Workshops

This work package focused on refining your research. Session leaders talked about methodologies and other essential research skills. Participants were given space to present their research in different formats to showcase their knowledge and skills.

PACKAGE 2: Research Publication Workshops

This work package focused on transforming your research into publications. Session leaders included academic reviewers, editors, and experts who concluded each day with a prompt for participants to think about where they want to take their research.

Our session leaders offered valuable knowledge and one-on-one feedback to our participants which helped them get closer to their goals.
