Dear All,

Many thanks for attending Lesson #11. Please find attached the presentation

I understand it was a bit dense, and you’re getting all caught up in finishing the semester.

Please pay attention to slides 47-53 on European Research. They’re quite instructional.

We will briefly get back to EU policies next lesson, just before your presentations.

Also, if there is any clarification you would like on other subjects discussed in class, please bring it to the table.

On the topic of geopolitical change and research, the European Commission is taking it seriously and shielding democracy gains ground as a research priority:

Regarding the evaluation protocol, please mind that in case you’re opting for continuous evaluation, you are supposed to produce a final essay, in the format of a policy brief.

The deadline for the final version of the policy brief is the exam date, but there is an interim draft version to be handed in by the 27^th April (23h59).

Next Wednesday, the 30^th, you should present your brief to class, in a max of 3 minutes and the use of a max of 3 slides. We will debate it and ask questions, so that you can use this feedback to perfect the final version.

The topic can be of your choice, as long as in the scope of our course.

Best,

Ana

Project management - teams and budgets.

Dear All,

Many thanks to those who attended yesterdays class, and I am truly sorry for the inconvenience of the rescheduling ☹.

Please find attached the presentation.

I suppose we did not advance as much as planned, and I will try to catch up next week, hopefully with a full room. There is a topic I would really like for us to debate, which is the use of AI and the disclosure options most often suggested by publishers and funders.

Meanwhile, enjoy your weekend between the showers and timid sunshine.

Best,

Ana
