Staff and students invited to inaugural Festival of Doctoral Research
With a jam-packed itinerary, the Festival runs from 12 – 27 May and aims to showcase the University’s doctoral research and foster collegiality and conversations across the researcher community and beyond.
Run by the Doctoral College in collaboration with Graduate Schools and professional service colleagues, the Festival offers something for everyone.
Enthusiasm so far has been strong, with more than 50 nominations for the Doctoral College Director’s Awards, an excellent set of entries to the ‘Resilience in Research’ Photography Competition, and some workshop sessions already fully booked.
