CETC IL Project Management Workshop
May 23-25, 2022
The Current and Emerging Threats to Crops Innovation Lab management hosted a free Project Management Course May 23-25, 2022 organized by Michigan State University.
This course featured a panel of experts, followed by the opportunity for participants to ask questions. It was an opportunity for the global community to learn how to effectively run a project.
Securing and managing funding for research projects is an essential skill any successful researcher needs to acquire. To build this capacity, our lab is offering a 3-day virtual training workshop in project management. The training will provide a broad overview on a wide variety of topics related to project planning, design, and implementation, and writing grant proposals for a variety of funding agencies.
The event recordings are posted here, where participants can continue the conversation, interact with our presenters, and ask additional questions. Recordings and other training materials are available in both French and Spanish in addition to English. (Some materials are still being processed.)
