I'll be attending a Wellcome Trust workshop in my specialty area and was wondering how to capture this on my cv? Do I just lump this in with "Conferences"?
Thanks... L

Since I have no idea what Wellcome Trust is, it's hard to say. I don't put conferences/workshops attended on my CV. I do include presentations I make or panels on which I sit at conferences/workshops.

Are you just attending or are you presenting My_crobe? If the latter, it goes under presentations. If the former, then unless it qualifies as CPD, it's just a line in your writeup of activities for the year rather than your CV. The only way I could see it going on your CV is if it's one of those workshops that's invitation only.
Octo, the Wellcome is a ginormous biomedical research fund. On this side of the pond, it's the 800lb gorilla of non-public biomedical funding.

Ah. In that case, I see your problem. It isn't a presentation, it doesn't quite fit in the "awards/grants" section and it isn't professional outreach.
I'd probably stick it amongst the invited seminars and their ilk, but I can see how it might look a bit of a cuckoo in the nest there. It really does need to live in a section labelled "other professional activities", but it'd look a bit lonely if it was the only thing there.
Any chance you can get a look online at the CV of anybody else who was at the workshop and see where they've stuck it?

Since it's competitive, my inclination is to put it somewhere. But, I don't know where. Can you ask your major professor? Or perhaps do a search online for others who've been there and their CVs for ideas? |

It strikes me that a workshop is different from a conference. Might it be possible to have a new section on "further training"? That would show continued engagement, especially if participation is competitive (like the NEH Summer Seminars). I once took a short-term seminar (two weeks) in a particular field in order to get up to speed in an area somewhat outside my own, in order to develop and demonstrate my competence to teach it.

Is it a grant preparation workshop (some colleagues have just been to one with another body, which was also competitive)?
If so, you could put it under grant applications maybe - you've got through the first round. If you don't get through the second round, maybe take it off again?

It's not for grants, it's more of a career development workshop for data analyses. It's a specific sort of data with which we're working and not everyone will have this sort of analyses under their belts. If I can't figure out where to put it on my cv in the near term, it will be incentive for getting the abstract written and subsequent paper completed! Thanks for all of the input.
