This Workshop introduces you to the basics of project management (PM).
Overview
Current developments require greater flexibility and adaptability to navigate increasing complexity and financial uncertainty. At the same time, they create new opportunities through evolving funding programmes and emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI). These developments present both challenges and opportunities for current and future project managers in academia and beyond, requiring them to effectively manage uncertainty while identifying and capitalising on new possibilities.
This course introduces a practical set of project management approaches, methods and tools, drawing on real-world examples and everyday project management experience. It aims to equip participants with the essential knowledge and skills needed to successfully plan, manage and implement projects in an increasingly complex and dynamic environment.
