Estonian Aviation Seminar 2024

Structure

Research and development, shortly R&D is a very important development area for Estonian Aviation Academy these days. Keeping that in mind and wishing to promote these developments, it is useful to refresh the existing knowledge and get new tips and tricks.

On 14 January the first seminar on academic writing and research article publication opened the series of seminars. The instructor was Mathilde Lind who is a PhD student at the University of Indiana. During the seminar topics such as why we write, what a research article is, how to get started, how to put the article together as well as the publication process were covered. The language of instruction was English.

R&D-related training sessions continue in January and February. The next seminar takes place already on 31 January and then the theory and practice of quantitative methodology will be discussed. The instructor Piret Luik is an Associate Professor in Didactics at University of Tartu, Institute of Computer Science. On 10 February the third session on qualitative methodology takes place. The instructor Liana Roos is a Coordinator of Science Activities at University of Tartu's Viljandi Culture Academy and also a Ph.D. Student in a field of Educational Sciences.

Everyone at EAVA is welcome to participate and it does not matter whether the experience in R&D is little, long or the idea of getting involved in R&D activities has emerged recently. Furthermore, these training sessions are extremely beneficial for those who supervise our students’ final theses!
