Training on Scientific Writing and IP management

Training from 1 to 6 December included

• From 1 to 4 December 2019 morning : Training by R.L. Boxman and E. Boxman

Website: http://communicating-science.com/instructional-staff/

Objective: Give participants tools needed for organizing and preparing their scientific and technical communications, in academia and in industry.

Syllabus: The course reviews in detail best practice for writing “research reports”, including theses, internal reports, and especially journal papers.

Course organization: 

1. Lectures. 12 frontal hours of lectures - mostly by Prof. R.L. Boxman. Lectures will be for 3 hours per day, 4 days (1-4 December 2019).
2. Class Participation. Students will be expected to actively participate in the lectures. Each student is required to bring to class an example of what they consider to be a good journal paper in their field. They will be asked to identify key elements of this paper, and present it to the class. Likewise, there will be class exercises of writing key sentences of a journal paper, and discussing them in class.
3. Exercise. The students will be given exercises to be completed in stages during the course. Each stage, and the final complete exercises, will be checked by Mrs. Edith Boxman. The version for the CERN EASITrain Project will have an added section addressing the key elements in research proposals through step by step exercises.
4. Tutorial Meetings. Mrs. Boxman will meet with individual students during the breaks, or before/after lectures, to give feedback on the graded exercise, and to work on individual problems.
