Resultados de aprendizaje (Objetivos)

  • To illustrate research experiences and methodologies so that students can see other researchers in action, share their experiences and contextualise their own research.
  • To run a workshop where students themselves talk about their own research experiences at a time when master theses must seriously be thought of just before starting the final GEMMA term.
