This workshop provides a hands-on introduction to the art of managing multi-disciplinary, multi-organisational research projects. Horizon 2020 is used as a model, but the approach is applicable to multi-partner projects. Horizon 2020 is the biggest EU Research and Innovation programme with nearly €80 billion of funding available over 7 years from 2014 to 2020.
The workshop is targeted at researchers and management support staff who may find themselves in a management role, but also those who perhaps just need to know about what management involves. This workshop is also suitable as a complementary skills course in project management for young researchers. The workshop will follow the form of lectures followed by group exercises with discussion feedback. It aims to be very practical and interactive in nature, giving students skills and understanding that they themselves can apply rather than theory on project management.
The workshop will be given by Monica Schofield. Monica is Director of International Cooperation & EU Office at TuTech Innovation where she is responsible for leading a team providing services for researchers at Hamburg University of Technology and external clients to help them make optimal use of the opportunities provided by European funding programmes for research, innovation and regional development.
The lectures will be given in English. Groups may discuss in German if preferred.
