Long-term developmental consequences of being born at neonatal risk
Dr. Robert John Eves
Bielefeld University - Faculty of Psychology and Sports Science
Robert John Eves is a Research Associate at Bielefeld University and an Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Warwick (Coventry, GB). His research aims to better understand the resilience factors that aid neurocognitive development for individuals born preterm and which risk factors can lead to difficulties.
Workshop: Project Management for Scientists – From Research Idea to Successful Project
Virginia Bolowski
University Medical Centre Rostock - Dean's Office
Scientific projects are becoming increasingly complex, involving interdisciplinary teams, limited resources, evolving objectives, regulatory requirements, and competitive funding environments. While scientists are highly trained in their research fields, formal project management skills are often not part of their academic education. This workshop provides a practical introduction to project management in the context of scientific and research projects. Participants will learn how project management tools can support the successful planning, implementation, monitoring, and completion of research projects - from the initial idea and grant proposal to the final project outcomes.
Virginia Bolowski combines strong expertise in research coordination and management with her role as Personal Assistant to the Vice Dean for Budget, Planning and Structure at the University Medical Centre Rostock and her qualification as a Certified Project Management Associate (IPMA® Level D).
