This seminar is intended to provide a better understanding of the basics of modern application of so called “Boilerplate Clauses”. It is based on numerous “Case Studies”, from business life, which provide the highest degree of “hands-on” experience in linguistic usage.
For those with a basic understanding of how Common Law contracts and agreements are set up, applied and interpreted in English, this seminar is designed to develop your skills and knowledge further.
It is essential to understand how to formulate and develop contracts and other legal documents in English. Whether we are writing an email, a letter or negotiating a contract, Legal English and legal writing skills are essential.The special rules of interpretation and traditional styles of drafting need to be contrasted with the dangers of ambiguity.

This workshop gives a practical view of how to develop proposals using the EU Research and Innovation Programme Horizon 2020 as a model, but the skills acquired are transferable to other programmes supporting research.
The workshop is conceived for researchers wishing to learn about the principles of developing multi-disciplinary collaborative research projects.

The expected impact of a proposed research project becomes more and more essential in many grant applications. In order to be successful with their proposal applicants need to analyze and describe the impact of their work convincingly.
This workshop looks at how journalists work and at how to tell your story succinctly and clearly so that a non-specialist audience will understand you.
Winning research funding is a competitive business. With much funding now targeted at international cooperation, the ability to write effectively and convincingly in English is a requirement of any researcher. This workshop is designed to help those who do not have English as their native language, improve their ability to write research proposals especially for European funding programmes.

Active participation in debates and at conferences considerably enhances your visibility in the field. Any presentation invites valuable instant responses that written communication cannot provide. Yet presenting your research project in English can be a daunting prospect. This workshop is designed to help those who do not have English as their native language master the art of the successful presentation.

Managing a Horizon 2020 or any international collaborative research project is not easy. These types of projects, often multidisciplinary, incorporating partners with diverse objectives and working cultures;involving a high level of risk and expectation, designed to serve a political agenda as well as generate knowledge and innovation, pose many challenges not addressed by conventional project management.

The workshop aims to give an understanding of what it means to translate knowledge, or ideas, into something that creates economic and societal benefit- in other words innovation. The workshop will develop the participants’ ability to relate to how business views knowledge and give an understanding of what it takes to exploit knowledge for commercial gain.

The idea of this workshop is to explore in a hands-on manner what it means to build a business and the tools needed. The workshop is very practical and interactive in nature, giving participants skills and understanding that they themselves can apply to develop their own business ideas.
Responding to the ever increasing demand for complementary skills training for those starting their research career, ReMaT is an intensive two-day workshop comprising of five modules which introduces students to research management topics and skills now considered essential for a career in research, or to make the transition from research into other functions.

Risk and uncertainty typify the development of a research career at the postdoctoral stage. Promising research careers often have to be abandoned because of insufficient planning, systems knowledge or professional management skills rather than a lack of subject knowledge or research excellence. This workshop provides strategic orientation and guidance for postdoctoral researchers to steer through critical situations and prepare for future research independence and leadership.

The continuity of research funding often makes or breaks a research career at the postdoctoral stage. As institutional core funding diminishes and external funding becomes more and more competitive, how do you build your resources systematically and mitigate the risk of gaps in funding?
This workshop explores the concept of strategy in the research context in order to identify, select and exploit funding opportunities more effectively.

In a global world personal contacts become more important. Knowing and being known to a wide range of people provides substantially more opportunities to carry out top level research and win grants. This workshop will serve to convey strategies for developing effective personal networks and to explore how to approach people from organisations outside your own.

Research management support has become an important function in its own right, but there is little formal training that can prepare people for this important service function. The purpose of this workshop is to share experience.
Whether or not money is available to fund a research topic depends very much on it being known to those who decide how research budgets should be spent. This workshop provides researchers with the chance to reflect on the way research programmes are formed, especially at the European level and show how to influence the content of programmes and calls.

All projects submitted to Horizon 2020 must respect fundamental ethical principles in order to be funded though these may not be so obvious for many engaged in ICT. This workshop aims to introduce the topic of ethics to ICT practitioners, explaining what the issues are and through the use of case studies show what some of the pitfalls might be in the case of advanced technology and applications development.
