Quality Management Workshop

Reliable, transparent research starts with simple, well-designed habits. In this full-day interactive workshop, participants will explore how “quality thinking” can make their everyday work easier, more reproducible, and more collaborative. Through research-data “scary tales,” process mapping, and hands-on exercises, participants will learn how to avoid common mistakes and make their results much stronger. Everyone will leave with a personalized Quality Action Plan to implement in their own projects. Join us in constructing better scientific practice through managed quality.
