Managing Technology Projects

Course Description

This programme, organised by UCL Centre for Systems Engineering and the Technology Management Group at the Mullard Space Science Laboratory, has been designed to provide knowledge and develop associated skills in the area of planning and managing technology projects in a business context.

Research collaboration between industry and universities is increasing, and more and more research students are working across the university/industry interface or will go on to work in industry on completion of their studies. Academics on the other hand, are increasingly required to show the likely commercial value of their research even when applying for grants.

This course will teach you how to develop technology that it is attractive to business, and how to manage the project that takes that technology from concept to delivery. Whether you are planning for a career in industry or academia, this programme could be vital to you. The programme consists of three complementary two-day courses which can be taken separately or together (in any order). The courses are:

• Technology Planning
• Managing Research Projects
• Risk Management for Technology Projects

A team of experienced trainers from UCL presents the courses using a combination of lectures, syndicate exercises, case studies and discussions. As well as providing a broad perspective of managing technology projects for business it gives delegates an opportunity to interact with other students in a lively, challenging and thought-provoking way.
