ARMS Qld/NT/PNG Chapter - 2015 Professional Development Workshop Best practice support for the multidextrous academic 30 June 2015 QUT Gardens Point Campus Introduction The ARMS Qld/NT/PNG Chapter is again organising a stimulating and practical professional development workshop. The subject of this - our 7th workshop - is Best practice support for the multidextrous academic. Many academics have a workload model built around Teaching, Research and Service, which can present challenges in terms of meeting KPIs across and within those areas. Their research allocation will usually require publication, student supervision and research income targets. In pursuing research income targets they may be further challenged in delivering across funding categories e.g. competitive or commercial. The academic needs to be not just ambidextrous, but multidextrous. This workshop will showcase best practice methods and tools that research support staff can use to assist the academic in meeting their research goals. We look forward to welcoming you to QUT Gardens Point Campus on Tuesday 30 June to increase our understanding of the challenges, identify opportunities, and share experiences through our peer network. When: Tuesday 30 June 2015.
