ABSTRACT:
The craft of Scientific Research focuses on a set of transferable skills that are deemed essential for the practice of scientific research. The first part focuses on the fundamental concept of scientific truth and how humanity pursues it: Why do we need to know? How do we know? How to do research? What is a model? Then we deliver a list of “how to” lectures: How to choose a research topic, How to produce reliable information, How to write and publish a scientific paper, How to review a paper or a grant, How to give a scientific presentation, How to build and run a research group, and How to write a grant application. Grant writing and peer reviewing will also be the subject of two tutorials and two individual projects; their completion will be required to pass the exam. The delivery is hybrid: all frontal teaching will be delivered in a classroom, while the two projects will be restructured online.
