Writing Proposals and Abstracts (Writing Series)
Microsoft Teams

This event has been organised by Researcher Development. For any enquiries, please contact pgresearchskills@warwick.ac.uk.

 

A workshop that presents the main aspects of writing an abstract, as well as the common errors in conception and use,

An abstract is a precise and concise overview of a larger piece of writing and is placed at the beginning of the article, essay or thesis it describes. It is often referred to as "summary" and even more often, it is misused in a variety of contexts to signify types of introductory writing which cannot, in fact, function as abstracts.
Abstracts give the essential elements of the finished project rather than going into detail, and describes rather than evaluates.

Conferences & Networking (PhD in 2nd Language series)
Microsoft Teams

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.

Microsoft Teams

Research Life - a space to have casual conversations about balancing research and life and mastering the life of research.

These sessions are an opportunity to meet & network with Warwick PGRs and alumni and get a better idea of how to manage your Research Life.
Each month we have a different theme- so either book them all or choose the one that suits you best;
 
January 2023 - Winter Wellbeing
 
The winter months are here (if you are in the northern hemisphere!) and with them a few challenges might arise. How can we take care of our wellbeing and get the right balance to support our research and our state of mind during this time? This month we will be joined by our mental health & wellbeing specialist Dr Frane Vusio. So come join the conversation, get tips, share your thoughts and exchange ideas with your colleagues on how to stay well (and productive) this winter.

Accelerator: Supervisor & PGRs: Building successful practice
Microsoft Teams

Accelerator Series: Supervisor & PGRs: Building successful practice

Your supervisor can be the most valuable resource you have during your PhD. A mentor and advisor that helps to manage your project and keep you on track, and a sounding board for your new ideas and thoughts. The list could go on… But key to the success is knowing and understanding how to manage this relationship successfully. The session will cover the responsibilities of both the supervisor and the PGR; it will also look at best practices, hints and tips.

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.

Emotional Intelligence for Researchers
Microsoft Teams

Emotional intelligence is a crucial skill which you can use to build a better research team and increase their effectiveness and productivity. Emotional intelligence also is crucial for conflict resolution and managing others. As with any other skill, emotional intelligence can be learned to help you become more emotionally adept, and resilient and manage better any challenges during your PhD.

In this workshop, which will be supported by a qualified and licenced low-intensity psychological wellbeing practitioner, you will learn the difference between self-esteem and self-confidence, and the 5 facets of emotional intelligence will be identified. We will also mention the importance of your core values and help you to identify your own core values (beliefs). The workshop will also introduce you to the Power of affirmation.

By the end of this session, you will be able to understand what emotional intelligence is, identify your core values and understand how to become more emotionally resilient and intelligent. There will be no need to disclose private or confidential information; we will just be discussing a practice which you can apply in your own time.
