Abstract
As early and mid-career researchers, much of your success hinges on the ability to fund and coordinate large research projects.
Although these complex projects often span disciplines, institutions and borders, there is little to no training available for how to manage them.
This practical, hands-on workshop offers a quick primer on how to build and sustain a successful research team. The focus is less on how to manage tasks than it is on how to manage people.
Topics covered include sharing goals, making decisions, delegating responsibilities and establishing trust.
Participants will emerge more confident in their ability to lead a large and diverse research team.
