LEARNING OUTCOMES
The student will learn not only how to conduct research, but more generally how to approach a subject rationally, to take a critical view on the literature available on the subject, to provide his or her own reflections supported by experience, and also to know how to communicate them.
The hindsight that this course provides on what science is (or is not) should be part of the skills of any scientist, not only researchers.
Everything you always wanted to know about research ... but were afraid to ask.Becoming a researcher is a professional qualification. Science requires curiosity, original thinking, rigour, experimentation and critical analysis of results. But for centuries now, science progresses have led to ever stronger organizations at the international scale, scientists’ professional networks, shared practices and rules. In a both competitive and collaborative and frontier-less research environment, conducting visible and relevant scientific research requires a strong methodology and conforming to international standards.
The course will cover the following topics:- Definition of scientific research, scientific methodology and the interactions between science and society. Ethics of scientific research.
- Acquiring a background on a scientific topic, analysing the state-of-the-art, compiling a bibliography, publishing scientific results, facing the evaluation of scientific work by peer scientists and presenting scientific activity to a specialized audience.
- Planning, conducting and analysing scientific experiments.
- Scientific environment, collaborations, research funding and interaction between academic institutions and industry.
