In this interactive workshop, our Canadian guest professor Kenneth Kent will introduce you to research methods on a postgraduate level with a special focus on publishing. It is open to PhDs of all departments.

„Graduate research is quite different than simply attending courses and doing assigned work one completes in their bachelor studies. Instead it involves you conducting research in a setting that has many challenges and pitfalls beyond the subject matter that you are studying. ”

Prof. Dr. Kenneth Kent - Barrett Chair in Entrepreneurship for Digital Transformation; Director IBM Centre for Advanced Studies - Atlantic; Faculty of Computer Science, University of New Brunswick
