I've booked for this event in Bristol on 5th March -

"This workshop forms part of the Entrepreneurial Institution programme
With increasing international competition, economic challenges, social change and the growing pressures of a complex and uncertain world, unlocking your enterprising capability as a researcher is vital to maximise the benefits gained from your research, to take forward your career or to start a new business."
This is because I'm involved in web related research and in mental health and exercise research, have finished my PhD, and have no funding.
I want to get back to being a professional research rather than a gifted amateur. I'm also seeing an adviser on Friday, in research meetings and events at the end of this month and booked for a college course on how to be an entrepreneur. Then there's a funding workshop in April that I'm going to.
I hope I'll find out enough to be able to collaborate with other organisations to ensure funding for their research and mine.
This blog is about my PhD research (now finished) at University of the West of England into User Driven Modelling. This is to make it possible for people who are not programmers to create software. I create software that converts visual trees into computer code. My web site is http://www.cems.uwe.ac.uk/~phale/. I'm continuing this research and the blog. My PhD is at http://eprints.uwe.ac.uk/17918/ and a journal paper at http://eprints.uwe.ac.uk/17817/.
