WORKSHOP BACKGROUND
Operating in an increasingly competitive, complex and
internationalised business environment, the pursuit of world-class
research outcomes and the associated rankings and reputational
benefits that accompany this have become a pressing challenge
for higher education institutions across the world. To distinguish
the University against the competition and emerge as a prestigious
research centre, University leaders and research professionals
require an increasingly diverse combination of skills and knowledge
which in many cases extend beyond the traditional academic
skill-set.
With this in mind, this unique event has been designed for the
specific requirements of busy University leaders and research
professionals. Attendees will be equipped to apply practical
techniques and implement strategies to expedite your research
outcomes. Register your seat today to be part of this exciting
learning.
