Activities Fund 2018
As part of the Festival of Doctoral Research, we give researchers the chance to apply for up to £1000 to run an activity or event during the Festival. Take a look at the events we funded.
Highlights
The Festival of Doctoral Research returned for its third year in 2018, running from Tuesday 8 May closing on Thursday 24 May.
The inaugural Festival of Doctoral Research brought together our doctoral community to highlight their contribution and celebrate their impact, both on the University and on the outside world.
Doctoral Researcher, Sien Van Der Plank who held the Hands on your PhD event said "the Festival of Doctoral Research is about celebrating research and bringing us together. It is also about empowering PhD students – reach out, sign up for something you’ve never done before, and discover a new side to yourself."
Find out more about the Festival from Sien's blog on Life at Southampton.
