For researchers, much professional development and advancement is linked to successfully delivering projects. Any post-doctoral or early–career researcher will have had to organise, analyse and present an enormous amount of information, set goals and review progress.

Facilitated by Dr Steve Hutchinson this programme will equip you with applied project management skills and an overview of various project-planning tools and techniques.
