Start Talking About Research Skills

As part of Trinity's European Researchers' Night programming, we are offering a series of lunchtime workshops for early career researchers. Themed around common issues researchers face, these workshops will allow researchers to discuss topics, explore new strategies, and pick up pointers in a friendly, relaxed setting. Tea and coffee and a light lunch will be provided. Spaces are limited, but you are welcome to attend one or all of the workshops. If attending more than one, you will need to book a place for each workshop. Monday, September 26th: Writing Workshop This workshop will focus on simplifying the academic writing process for early career researchers. Topics covered will include: becoming a more productive and motivated writer, the outlining and editing processes, and establishing writing groups. Tuesday, September 27th: Publishing Workshop This workshop will provide early-career researchers with a grounding in the importance of published work. Topics covered will include: navigating the publishing process from start to finish, basic article types, and strategies for dealing with revisions and rejections. Wednesday, September 28th: Funding Workshop This workshop will focus on efficient approaches to grant writing for early-career researchers. Topics covered will include: identifying funding opportunities, addressing the funding call requirements, liaising with gatekeepers, and drafting funding plans.
