Courses

The course aims at providing participants with a complete set of tools to properly managing complex international projects, with particular reference to the research fields.
A first part of the project will be dedicated to project management techniques and procedures to be implemented for a smooth running of projects. A second part will be dedicated to financial reporting rules on eligibility of expenditures, mainly in relation to the EU Horizon 2020 Programme. Finally, the last part will focus on IPR discipline and knowledge transfer in the frame of funded projects.

Crash Course on Research Funding, Intellectual Property and Start up Creation, from 21 March to 31 May 2017 at Polo Scientifico e Tecnologico Fabio Ferrari, Via Sommarive, Povo (TN) - Italy

The Crash Course is organized in 3 modules on research and technology transfer:
Module 1: Research Funding and Management
Module 2: Intellectual Property Protection and Valorization
Module 3: Start up Creation and entrepreneurship

The University of Kent provided 4 hours of lectures and a workshop, all on the topic of Privacy.

The course is particularly recommended to ESRs in the risk mangement workpackage as it has been taylored to people with a Computer Science Background. Professor WIlliams will also discuss with you key project ideas in terms of security risks.

Just like the evil market of Cybercrime, Digital Forensic is a fast-growing field with a significant demand both for skilled professionals and smart researchers.
Whether we consider “traditional” crime or information security breaches, stalking or cyber attacks, we note that culprits leave behind a huge amount of digital traces, frequently much more digital than physical traces. Following those traces and turning them into court evidence is the business of digital investigators and forensic scientists.
