On the first workshop day, we will focus on the foundations of structured project planning: defining clear project goals, structuring work packages and milestones, developing realistic timelines, identifying stakeholders and responsibilities, and anticipating typical risks in research projects. You have the possibilty to apply these methods directly to your own research context through practical exercises and examples.
On the second day, the focus shifts to the active management of ongoing projects. We will explore how to deal with changes and uncertainty, prioritize tasks, organize your work, communicate effectively with project partners, and respond to deviations from the original project plan. You will also get to know selected agile methods and discuss how they can be adapted to research projects.

After the workshop, you will be able to
- Structure and plan research projects using clear goals, work packages, milestones and timelines.
