Research Enhancement Program
Support and services
Research-based workshops provide skills training for Higher Degree by Research (HDR) students, supervisors and staff.
All students commencing a Higher Degree by Research program are required to participate in a minimum of five generic skills workshops/seminars throughout their candidature.
Events for 2021
In 2021, we will be running events on a more regular basis. We will offer many of these via zoom for accessibility. See our Calendar, below, for details.
In addition we have commenced planning the 2021 CDU Higher Degree by Research (HDR) Conference which we hope to run in the first week of September. All CDU HDR Students will be invited to submit an abstract for the conference before the middle of 2021. We hope to hold the conference in Darwin, face-to-face so external students should start thinking about travel plans and budgets now. As this is a great opportunity to network and present, we hope as many of our HDR students can attend as possible. See Calendar and below for more details.
We hope to run two HDR communication competitions at CDU in 2021 - Virtual Three Minute Thesis and Visualise your Thesis - see below for more details.
