ESRs must handle research data correctly and in line with rules and practices for research data management and sharing. We revisit PLATO’s Data Management Plan (DMP) and ESRs elaborate their dataset descriptions with hands-on support.
The last module of Vitae’s Effective Researcher programme (TM3) will help ESRs navigate the final year of their doctorate and plan for non-academic secondments.
This session introduces the ESRs to the basics of communicating research to different audiences. It is the first of two training modules in public engagement (TM7).
This third PLATO workshop for supervisors will address best practices to support PhDs in finishing their projects in time. It will focus on key elements of effective PhD supervision, such as managing expectations, supporting effective goal setting, encouraging progress, adapting to individual needs, and dealing with difficult circumstances.
Prof. Michael Zürn will hold a keynote speech on the legitimacy crisis of global governance as part of the PLATO PhD school at the University of Twente.
This workshop introduces the Open Access (OA) requirements for ESR publications, the driving forces behind the EU’s policy and PLATO’s guidelines for Open Access publishing
This workshop gives practical advise for doctoral students in publishing their work in monographs and peer-reviewed academic journals.
ESRs will be presenting their contribution to the PLATO anthology and their overall research results, with an emphasis on the first.
