Convento da Arrábida - Nova Doctoral School Course
This next July I will be at Arrábida Monastery for the 33rd edition of the Research Skills Development (RSD) course. This course created in partnership with Imperial College London intends to cover key transferable skills needed by early stage PhD researchers.
As a Tutor my role is to frame the experience and help students to reflect on their group dynamics. We work on transferable skills like Communication, Team working, Creativity, Planning and Problem-solving, Interdisciplinary collaboration. receiving feedback on performance (within a team) and get to know researchers from various departments and campuses.
The course has been designed to be challenging, involving and memorable. I’m sure it has been for PhD researchers and also for me!
