Teaching & Learning >SERU is engaged in several programmes relating to teaching and learning, all of them customised to the client's requirements and containing the very latest data from SERU's research projects. These programmes range from postgraduate vocational skills and learning activities, to 'third strand' business-specific courses and workshops conducted for the North East Chamber of Commerce and Newcastle University. Postgraduate TrainingSERU has dedicated itself to an intensive, vocational programme of postgraduate training through its new training Hub. The Hub will bring postgraduates directly into the centre of SERU's daily operations, working on actual business-support activities such as market research, empirical research and statisitical analysis - 'learning by doing' . For more information about this exciting new programme, please visit the dedicated Hub homepage. University of NewcastleSERU has developed several courses for use by internal clients, or for general use by staff and external clients. Examples include; Faculty of Science (Construction); Four-sesion module designed to provide participants with a practical, vocational platform upon which students can develop key enterprise, employability and work-related skills and enhance their prospects for future employment. The module is structured into four components, each lasting approximately two hours;
Workshops on SET Innovation; These workshops organised by SERU will serve three functions; firstly, it will raise awareness of female SET innovation and acts as a means of highlighting other women participating in this area; secondly, it will act as a channel for dissemination of the findings of SERU following our research into SET innovation and related high level economic activities by women (ESF Regional, Objective 3, 1 Jan 03 – June 04 and ESF National, 1 Jan 05 – Dec 06); thirdly, it will serve the wider function of promoting awareness and emphasising the importance of innovation, IPR issues and the use of company resources in research and development. The workshops will promote these themes through sessions similar to those previously organised by ideas21 and sponsored by Business Link London with the support of NESTA , hosted at the Patent Office in London . The sessions will also benefit from collaboration between SERU and Oxford’s Said Business School on diversity in the scientific workforce and their related input into government policy via collaboration with the DfES and DTI. The workshops will be extensively marketed by SERU to ensure the widest possible participation by industry, academia and the entrepreneurial community. Content;
