Project management and GSMS Introduction

 

The essential elements of working within a project structure; the ‘interplay of forces’ surrounding a project; timetabling; decision-making; managing a project; writing a project assignment; organizational cultures; project-friendly cultures; the consultation interview; the phase model of research projects.

The participants will not only become familiar with the theory, but will also practice useful skills by means of assignments and exercises.

The course takes one day, including an introduction to the GSMS organization and procedures.

This first day is the start of mentor and follow-up sessions in the 2^nd and 3^rd year of your PhD research project.

The main topic of these follow-up sessions is the progress of your research project. The sessions last about 3 hours. Note that the follow-ups are compulsory and are especially aimed at preparing the students for completing their thesis within the limited time span of their research period.
