Doing a PhD begins with writing a research proposal, which explains a project of academic or scientific research. The proposal shall give information about the form and procedures for research.

The workshop gives answers to the following questions:

• Which are the parts of a research proposal?
• How to prepare the different parts?
• How to formulate the hypothesis?
• How to write clearly and well structured?
• How to convince others, that an actual research can begin?

Step by step we will take a view on strategies to navigate the hazards of writing research proposals, which is one of the most difficult as well as unavoidable requirements of graduate study.
