Some of these topics were included in the Autumn schedule, and you can find recordings and slides from previous Spring sessions in the 2023 HDR Training Program Resource Moodle site.
HDR candidates can also self-enrol into Epigeum Research Skills Toolset modules covering a variety of topics on Moodle here.
