Planning for conferences and networking in another language may seem overwhelming at times. Join us in this session to discuss how to make networking work for you in conferences, in Face-to-Face situations, and how you can apply that knowledge to the online networking and conferencing experience.

YouTube: Networking and Conferences PhD in a second language – YouTube

A PhD is challenging. Doing it in another language makes it more so. The ‘PhD in a second language’ series is designed to support you with many aspects of the process. We cover writing and speaking; reading and presenting. We discuss how we network and create connections. We also discuss the vagaries of undertaking research in the UK; the words that mean something entirely different and trip us up every time. The sessions are run by a Warwick PhD alumni and lecturer who still occasionally struggles to find the correct English word.

Accelerator Series: Introduction to Project Management

Hear from your peers as to how they have managed their PhD. By the end of the workshop, you should be able to: develop more knowledge about what project management tools can be used in your day to day tasks; understand importance of project management skills for your own research project; apply learned knowledge into practice; identify your stakeholders, and to understand their needs; manage stakeholder expectations; manage risks and issues, including changes to scope; review and learn from strengths and weaknesses of your own research project; and, ultimately, self-reflect on your own productivity and effectiveness.

Accelerator is a series of sessions which we think is invaluable to getting your PhD off to the best start. There’s no need to attend all of them, and some are repeated at different times/ days throughout the 10 weeks of term.
