Retroplanning to manage your writing

Thèsez has adapted the SMART approach (Doran, 1981) to academic writing, to help you identify goals that make sense to you and to the people you work with, especially your supervisor. The idea is to break down the writing process so as to better plan and organize one’s time, appreciate one’s progress and stay motivated throughout the long process of writing a dissertation or thesis.

Retroplanning means thinking about your calendar in terms of deadlines. It’s a particularly useful strategy for planning your project in digestible, structuring phases, as well as for establishing communication and feedback periods with your management.

 

Graphic and illustrated scientific communication

Initially, this course will cover both the content and form of a scientific presentation. We’ll look at the basic principles of graphic design to improve the quality of your communication materials, using examples to illustrate the point. Bring your own material, and you’ll leave with your documents looking like new!
Secondly, we’ll break down the steps involved in creating 4 graphical abstracts created by the agency. This analysis will reveal 1) the initial questions to ask, 2) how to identify the content to be integrated, and 3) how to arrange this information to highlight it and get the right message across. We welcome any questions you may have, to help you break the ice and create your next graphical abstract!

 

Patient-oriented research: Practical considerations for child health researchers

Patient-oriented research (POR) is a relatively innovative approach to integrating people with lived experience (PEVs) throughout the research cycle. EPPs have the opportunity to influence the study design, the evaluation criteria to be used, the interpretation and use of research results, leading to better, more far-reaching outcomes.
This workshop will provide an overview of the principles of patient-centered research, focusing on tools and concrete strategies. It will then explore a case study from the BRILLEnfant Network, a patient-centered research network that is creating better futures for children and youth living with brain-based developmental disabilities and their families.

 

Open science: what are the options?

Open science is a movement to make scientific processes and practices, including research methodology and results, more open and transparent.
