The aims of the seminar series are to:
- develop your professional competencies
- support you in achieving your goals with your master studies
- meet your peers
- keep you on track to deliver a great thesis!
Along your master's journey, we will cover topics such as study plan, literature search, scientific writing, research data management, presentation strategies, project planning, AI use, and more. The seminars will consist of a combination of lectures, activities, discussions, invited speakers/panels, and socializing.
In this third workshop, we will walk you through structuring your thesis and get you started on the writing process. We will also discuss strategies for using visualization effectively in your thesis, plan the rest of your project, and guidelines on using AI. And we offer lunch (only if you register)!
