Introducing students into basic, key research skills and tools.
Achieving a common view for the development of supporting documentation for helping students and mentors to develop their research projects.
Activities oriented towards the first goal are:
One-day workshop on information retrieval: students initially grouped by overlapping research topics will be provided with sample research topics, a list of promising sources, databases and search tools. Their results will be shared and assessed at the end of the workshop.
One-day workshop on how to assemble the outcomes of the previous workshop into a cohesive project: how to make a table of contents.
Tools for designing and carrying out surveys and questionnaires.
Tools for aggregating and presenting quantitative data.
Cultural visits have been organised in collaboration with academic departments that include them as part of the regular curriculum. Their expertise and pre-arranged visits will be integrated with the visits during the meeting whenever possible.
