Overview: Professional Activities

The Professional Activities sub-category is where one can list various professional activities that one has been involved with over the years.

Each entry is listed by Description and Year/s. There is no restriction on the total number of entries you may add.

Each Professional Activities entry requires at least a Description to be entered.

Existing entries may be edited / updated subsequently, if required, or deleted.  

Entries may be manually sorted into a logical order which will be used when generating CVs and displaying on websites.

Each subsequent entry on this page will be listed in a new row and will be displayed alternately in a blue / black font colour.  This formatting is only used within the eResearch Profile context and purely for ease of visual display of multiple entries.
