Research process

Programs and research centers need to be accredited. The content of their educational programs and their research is being evaluated and the organizations receive recommendations for development and improvement. My longstanding experience as an external advisor of accreditation procedures enables me to, together with your organization, discuss what needs to be done for upcoming accreditations and help you manage the procedure.

Research often means working in teams. Teamwork involves specific challenges, for instance the division of tasks and roles, responsibilities for the research quality, internal communication and the writing process. During this intervision coaching we discuss your challenges during teamwork in a safe setting, so you can gain more insight and learn from each other’s experiences.

Would you like me to give a workshop or course, but is your topic not in the list? Please contact me for a customize approach.

This workshop is aimed at coaching thesis supervisors in higher education. Every student in higher education graduates upon passing their final project or professional product. The latter consists of a great deal of applied research. Supervisors often experience similar challenges with supervising students, such as time pressure, keeping appointments, procrastination, poor quality or communication with the internship organization. During this workshop we will not only share our common experiences but also exchange tips & tricks for effective and efficient supervision.

Many research results are used in policy development, for instance with local or regional governments. This workshop is suitable for applied researchers who want to know more about bridging research and policy development. How can research help develop or support policymaking? How does research fit into the policy cycle; how do you convince policymakers to use research results when developing policies.

Key in high quality research results is the extent to which the ‘right’ questions are asked. So, you need to listen carefully to your contractor and make the right research choices during your study. Asking good quality questions plays a major role during every phase of your research project. During the workshop we discuss which questions to ask during every phase and how you can monitor the ‘question quality’. It goes without saying that your questions and challenges will be addressed.
