Maria Kotowska and Letizia Pace were awarded grants of 300€ each to attend the Post-Graduate Training Workshop organised by the British Society for Geomorphology (BSG) – and more specifically by Dr. Lucy Clark and Prof. John Wainwright. This grant allowed them to stay four days at the Cumberland Lodge (Windsor, UK) – find their full reports in pdf here:
Both reports highlight an “unforgettable” and “incredibly formative” experience. The workshop covered a wide range of topics: nature and ethics of the PhD, management of a scientific network, writing and publishing a paper, time management and project planning… Additionally, participants were introduced to the use of Python programming, and were given the opportunity to present their research projects – which represented a good practise for public speaking. Overall, the workshop ran in a “supportive and relaxed atmosphere”, which helped participants in making connections with each other. They also very much appreciated the comfort of the Cumberland Lodge, and the beauty of its surroundings.
