Second International School: Complementary Skills
EC-funded Marie Curie Actions incorporate mandatory complementary skills training in their projects. This is implemented in LA³NET through an established quality programme of complementary skills training developed and tested during the delivery of the DITANET project. The LA³NET Complementary Skills School will take place in Liverpool from 17th - 22nd March 2013. The network's early stage researchers are privileged to be going to attend this to develop their competencies and build links across the network.
This school will provide the LA³NET early stage researchers with the non-technical skills that will be invaluable for their future careers whether that be in academia or industry. Training will be based around the following topics:
- Presentation skills
- Group presentation sessions
- Scientific writing
- Group discussions on working within an international network
- Building bridges with industry
- Patent issues and IPR (Intellectual Property Rights)
- Project management
- Time management
- Problem solving
- Self management and work-life
Note that the UK is not within the Schengen area and so non-EC visitors working outside of the UK will need to apply for a UK visa in addition to their work permits.
