Designing Conference Posters (ESD MPhil) new Finished 11:00 - 12:00 Department of Engineering, Room to be confirmed

Conference posters are a simple, visual, and effective way of sharing your research. They may be presented at academic or professional conferences, Departmental events, or educational events for the general public. A well-designed poster allows you to communicate information about your work in a concise and appealing manner, and engage with colleagues, peers and others in a conversational setting.

Creating a conference poster is a balancing act between including enough detail to effectively describe your work, and keeping it visually attractive and minimal enough that people can understand at least the main points at a glance.

This module will help you create effective conference posters and introduce key design principles.

There is an increased emphasis on managing and sharing data produced in research. Many of the research funders supporting work at the University of Cambridge require that research data are openly available with as few restrictions as possible.

Research data management is a complex issue, but done correctly from the start, could save you a lot of time and hassle at the end of the project; when preparing your data for a publication or writing up your thesis. Research data takes many forms, ranging from measurements, numbers and images to documents and publications.

This session aims to help you get started with managing your data by introducing you to key principles around organising, storing, archiving and sharing your data. You will also learn how to create your own Data Management Plan.

Time Management Session - Online via Zoom new Finished 12:00 - 13:00 Department of Engineering Online

Time is the most valuable commodity for any person or organisation, and everybody has different ways of ‘managing’ it. Sometimes these approaches are driven by situations or even habits. Organising your time is about the choices you make, the amount of time you have is finite! In addition if you manage others you have the responsibility of using their time effectively and delegating appropriately.

Are factors such as procrastination, lengthy meetings and time ‘hijacking’ sapping the time available? If you’re not entirely happy with the way you use your time, this course provides the basis for organising yourself and your time, providing lots of tips.

This is a 1 hour online session on the 1st October, 12:00 - 13:00, which will be hosted on Zoom with Keith from Wiz. The Zoom link and joining details will be in the joining instructions.

Please note, this is an external provider. If you have any issues with booking this course or do not see the the Zoom link details, please do email staff-training@eng.cam.ac.uk.

Handling Challenging Conversations new Finished 09:30 - 12:30 Department of Engineering, James Dyson Building, Teaching Room

Communication in any organisation is complex and challenging. This is particularly so in the diverse community of a University where there are emotive internal and external communications that often have a significant impact. This can create emotive responses which can be challenging to handle.

Self-awareness as well as an awareness of others' needs is crucial and this workshop is a chance for members to explore in more detail their own approach to having challenging conversations and to further develop some strategies that work for you, as well as understanding other tools that could help.

The session will happen between 9:30 - 12:30. You only need to attend 1 session. This is the same session repeated.

Light refreshments will be provided, please email staff-training@eng.cam.ac.uk for any dietary requirements or adjustments.
