This in person course is run by the Researcher Academy as part of the Arts Researcher Skills Programme
Target audience: This session is part of the Arts Researcher Skills Programme for early stage researchers in the Faculty of Arts only. Please note that this session is compulsory for Arts researchers (the rest of the Arts Researcher Skills Programme is optional).
Pre-course activity: before researchers attend this course, they must complete the Development Needs Analysis activity on the Starting out as a researcher Moodle course and bring it with them (on laptop or printed out; either is fine). At the workshop itself there will be time to answer any queries and to offer support and advice where required.
Description:
This is the first session on the Arts Researcher Skills Programme and covers the following activities:
The idea of this session is to equip you with the information and skills to get your research programme off to a flying start. It’s open to all schools in the Faculty of Arts, so this is also an opportunity to meet researchers from outside your discipline and school.
Process: Delivered through presentation and workshop

Booking Guidelines
Latecomer policy
Researchers should plan to arrive prior to the advertised course start time. Except for exceptional reasons, there will be no admittance to a Researcher Academy or Faculty Training Programme (FTP) course 15 minutes after the advertised course start time.
Importance of booking commitment
When booking on to a Researcher Academy short course you are entering into a commitment to attend. If you find that you are no longer available to attend you MUST cancel your place (on the system if more than three days before the course) or if at short notice by emailing ra-training@nottingham.ac.uk. This will ensure that your place can be offered to another researcher on the waiting list. Failure to cancel a place results in other researchers missing out on places through the waiting list process.
It is unacceptable for researchers to just not attend when booked onto a course. The Researcher Academy maintains records of those who repeatedly do not attend courses they have booked. This may affect future eligibility to book onto further Researcher Academy courses and will affect considerations for Researcher Academy funded opportunities.
