This February we are starting with our annual #SmartResearcher series of workshops. This year, the workshops will be presented in hybrid format, so you can attend either in person or online. Also, if you attend three or more workshops, you qualify for a certificate of attendance.
These workshops are aimed at postgraduate students, emerging researchers and academic staff and the focus will be on the research process. The sessions vary in length depending on the subject matter, but cover a wide range of subjects related to the postgraduate research journey.
