Research productivity webinar: 'Lead your research program with a business mindset'
Developing a successful research program takes more than technical expertise; like a business, successful research programs need strong leaders with good management and communication skills. The Carl R. Ice College of Engineering and K-State Innovation Partners invite university research faculty in all disciplines to participate in "Research Productivity: Lead your research program with a business mindset," a one-hour virtual event at 3 p.m. Sept. 29.
With funding agencies supporting more transdisciplinary, collaborative research, it is becoming essential for faculty to develop interdisciplinary research teams for continued success. Regardless of your research program size and style, using a business mindset to make decisions and manage your program enhances your likelihood for success!
