Workshop for PhD Students: “Pitching Research Matters” – with Prof. Robert Faff (Open Session)
This workshop provides a primer on the “Pitching Research” framework [PRF] – a research planning framework that challenges (novice) researchers to communicate their early research ideas effectively to an academic field expert.
Date: 3 May 2024 Friday, 10:00-12:00
Location: Institute of Finance – Corvinus Main Building (E.279.1)
Language: English
The PRF aims to lay a solid and basic foundation stone, simultaneously serving as:
- a scaffolding device for building early confidence
- an enduring compass for all researchers on the “hazardous” journey of scientific discovery
- a simple enabling tool to convey research plans in line with the principles of “Responsible Science”.
