Doctoral Training Showcase Event

To highlight the fantastic doctoral training programmes available across the University, we are hosting a showcase of the resulting research from students who have benefited from these initiatives.

This will include student talks and posters on interdisciplinary topics followed by a number of workshops (please register below) covering computing skills useful for postgraduate research. The event will be opened by the Pro Vice-Chancellor for research and enterprise Tim Elliot and will be attended by research council representatives.

The event is open to all members of the University of Southampton. Please register via EventBrite here so that we can get an impression of numbers.
