Description

This course introduces students to the essential stages of the research project lifecycle, from problem identification to project execution. It emphasizes how to formulate clear research questions, define objectives and hypotheses, and anchor them within theoretical frameworks. Students will learn to design rigorous research protocols, select appropriate methodological approaches, and plan resources, timelines and milestones effectively. The course also covers project management tools - such as Gantt charts, risk assessment frameworks, and contingency planning, as well as good practices for collaboration, supervision and progress monitoring. By the end of the seminar, students will be able to prepare a structured research plan, design a research project aligned with academic standards, and present their proposal with confidence and clarity.

3 ECTS
