<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d" lang="EN-GB">Prof. Faff presents and discusses a research tool, which allows to efficiently structure an early stage research proposal. The talk addresses in particular junior researchers, and anyone interested
in finding a way to systematically present a coherent research idea, with a particular (but not exclusive) focus on accounting and interdisciplinary projects.</span><span lang="EN-GB"><u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color:#1f497d">About the Seminar: "Pitching Research"<u></u><u></u></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">The Pitching Research workshop will give an overview of Professor Faff’s "Pitching Research" framework [Faff (2015, 2016)]. Specifically, he has developed a simple and methodical template tool to clarify thinking
and sharpen up the drafting of initial proposals for research projects, well before any major effort has taken place to execute the research. This “pitching research” template is of particular relevance to beginning PhD students and to early career researchers
facing the common challenge of starting a new piece of research, that they can be confident is worthwhile. But, even for researchers beyond the initial proposal stage of their project, there is likely to be considerable merit in rethinking the project at regular
intervals to keep it on track. The notion of “pitching” the project anew can benefit the project in many ways, not least of which is retention of focus, trimming tangential matter, recalibrating the scope and refining the method to match the type and amount
of data that turns out to be available.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">Robert Faff is Professor of Finance and Director of Research at the UQ Business School. He has an international reputation in empirical finance research: securing 13 Australian Research Council grants (funding
exceeding $AUD4 million); >300 refereed journal publications; career citations >8,700 (Google Scholar); and a h-index of 49 (Google Scholar). His particular passion is nurturing and developing the career trajectories of early career researchers. Robert has
supervised more than 30 PhD students to successful completion and examined 50 PhD dissertations. Building on a 35-year academic career, his latest passion is “Pitching Research”, now gaining great traction domestically and worldwide as exemplified by: (a)
>7,500 SSRN downloads; (b) >130 pitching talks/events; (c) at 33 Australian universities; and (d) spanning 24 different countries.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
