PhD PhD Discussion Series

PhD Discussion Series

As those of you who joined us last term will know, we aim for a relaxed and informal setting, and try to get speakers on currently relevant topics as well as perhaps topics that tie in more closely to the practitioner side of research, thus capitalizing on our location in the heart of the City.

We would like to take this opportunity to invite all of you who are interested to attend, and hope that this year’s topics will generate some lively discussion, exchange of ideas, and maybe even collaboration between people that might otherwise not have much contact.

Upcoming Events
