The Career and Relevant-to-Industry Skills Programme (CRISP) is designed for MacDiarmid Institute PhD students to explore and develop the skills which will lead to success in their future careers. The diverse, non-academic range of skills on offer is relevant to a range of employment settings, from start-ups to industrial R&D, and from public institutions to professional services companies. Many of these skills are also useful in academia, particularly for PhD students and postdoctoral researchers. We anticipate that future employers will recognise CRISP as a valuable addition to your CV.

Workshop 2 will be held in person in Rotorua on 1 and 2 February 2022 , with module 3 held in parallel to the MacDiarmid Symposium. Students who have registered for the Symposium can apply for these modules. Only one of modules 1 and 2 can be chosen. Attendance at the introductory online ‘taster’ sessions from Workshop 1 is not required to attend modules 1 and 3.

For this workshop, the available modules are:
  1. Sustainability of products, processes and business models through advanced materials - delivered by the Sustainable Business Network
  2. Resilience and wellbeing in the workplace - led by Julene Hope
  3. Investment dynamics for science-based start-ups - delivered by Bridgewest
 
Eligibility and selection. Any PhD student affiliated with the MacDiarmid Institute is eligible to participate. Attendance may be subject to capacity limitations. Selection for workshops will consider timeliness of the application (i.e. first-come first-served), travel and emissions logistics, and equity. Due to the rolling nature of the programme, those who miss out on any particular module will have the chance to apply for later modules, and potentially a later version of the same module.

The costs of travel, accommodation and attendance is covered for MacDiarmid Institute PhD students.

Numbers may be limited for each module, so please register early.
