Research Skills Training for Autumn 2025


Another term begins, and so too does our research skills training program. We will be offering workshops on areas including literature searching, referencing software, open access, understanding metrics and managing research data. Intended for research students and staff conducting, or supporting, research most of the sessions will be run online. The full program is below.
