It is completed in the form of an individual research project. GEO2020 follows GEO2011, and involves carrying out the research according to the plan of GEO2011.\nOn completing the Graduation Project, the student is able to:\n1. Demonstrate that they are capable to independently apply relevant theory and/or knowledge to research;\n2. Formulate a theoretical, numerical and/or experimental framework and delineate a research problem such that it can be solved;\n3. Interpret obtained results in a critical manner;\n4. Explain the work performed in a structured report that incorporates verification of methods and tools and is written in correct English;\n5. Communicate the work performed in a structured way through an oral presentation to a wider audience;\n6.

"12" . "Contents:\nThe course Research Master Cluster: Proposal Writing focuses on acquiring and improving students' professional skills in writing and defending a scientific research proposal. The students start the course with their own more or less realistic scientific idea and develop it into an attractive grant proposal of high quality that will be defended before a jury of experts and peers. The proposal will be formulated and composed based on the application form “NWO Open Competition Domain Science - M1” provided by NWO.\n\nThe students are in charge of the writing process and are responsible to arrange the meetings and make agreements with their personal coach, the group coach, fellow students and/or other experts. To support the process from writing to defending, skills training, such as academic writing, argumentation and presentation skills will be given. Lectures will deal with stakeholder analysis, including the identification of governmental, public, private and industrial funds to finance the research (EU, KNAW, NWO, Top Sectors or company-based R&D). Additional lectures on publication culture, ethics and PhD student’s experiences will be given. Reflection on fellow student’s proposals and performances and on personal development are also integral part of the process.\nLearning outcomes:\nAfter successful completion of this course students are expected to be able to:\napply academic knowledge and skills to design a research project in the context of the Wageningen Life Sciences;\ncollect relevant information within a scientific field, identify existing knowledge gaps and translate them into research objectives;\ndefine and describe the most suitable methodological approaches for the research project;\ncritically analyse the scientific merits of peer's research proposals;\npresent and defend a PhD grant proposal;\ncommunicate effectively with other academics, including personal and group coaches, reviewers, and a scientific jury;\nreflect upon their own research proposal, personal development and functioning as an academic;\nbecome efficient in organising meetings and reaching deadlines." . .
