In this course, researchers from the various HLCS programmes will discuss their projects with students from the research master. Specific issues will be addressed regarding research funding, research questions, methodology, sources, availability and use of materials, publication strategies, peer review and project progress and delays. Under the expert guidance of an accomplished researcher, students will complete several assignments of relevance to the research field in which they specialise. For instance, students will be asked to review ongoing grant applications of staff members or PhD students, to prepare an interview with the applicants, and to prioritize applications according to NWO criteria. |
