We also offer a valuable opportunity for candidates who have been shortlisted for fellowship interviews through our interview practice sessions with an expert panel selected from the College of Experts. These sessions will provide participants with essential practice, allowing them to refine their presentation skills and receive constructive feedback on their draft presentations. Candidates will engage in a realistic interview setting, addressing questions that pertain to their project, the research environment, their research team, the culture of research, and their vision for personal and professional development. The benefits of this practice are manifold. Not only does it help candidates build confidence in their presentation skills, but it also equips them with the insights needed to effectively articulate their ideas and respond to challenging questions. This preparation can significantly enhance their performance during actual interviews, thereby increasing their chances of securing funding. Additionally, feedback from experienced experts provides candidates with a deeper understanding of what funders are looking for, allowing them to refine their approach and strengthen their applications.
