This intense but fun training workshop is open to postgraduate students enrolled at a New Zealand university or in Australia, at ANU and RMIT.
The programme consist of participants presentations, skills training and group activities. Participants need to prepare a research project presentation to present during the workshop. The workshop will be in a relaxed environment among your peers. Everyone is at a different stage of his/her research and we will have a great variety of presenters – from Honours to PhD. The workshop is designed to be practical, supportive and encouraging. There will be some free time to go for walks or to visit the pools.
