Content description
Every research project requires a promising concept: Whether you are applying for a scholarship, a doctoral program, a postdoc position or a current research project, you must develop and write down a research proposal. Therefore we need to align all necessary components of the concept to a clear and appropriate research aim and bring our ideas in a convincing structure.
The session will provide you with tools for this demanding task. To prepare text production solidly, you will receive strategies that enable routines in project development and focus.
