Beyond the Thesis: Winning Grants, Sponsoring Conferences & Workshops, and Capitalizing on Your Research

Transitioning from research completion to long-term career success requires skills that extend far beyond standard academic curricula, particularly in securing funding, building visibility, and translating findings into broader impact. This graduate seminar addresses this crucial gap by equipping researchers with the strategic tools needed to turn academic output into sustainable career assets. Participants will explore proven strategies for navigating the competitive grant-writing landscape, learn how to secure financial sponsorship to organise high-profile conferences and workshops, and discover practical pathways for capitalising on their research through industry partnerships, intellectual property, and policy engagement.
