Over the next six months we are running a series of forums for academic colleagues who are at an early stage in their research career. The first forum, held in July was a success and you can find out more about this session here.
The forums will be open, informal sessions where you can meet with a group of experienced academics and Julie Northam and Julia Taylor from the R&KEO to discuss anything you like to do with research. From publications to projects to funding to research strategy we will be on hand to help and advise. Lunch / refreshments will be provided.
The forums will be held at the following times and you will need to book to confirm your attendance (this is so we can order enough food and refreshments in advance)

19 November 12:30 – 15:00 EB702, The Executive Business Centre, Lansdowne
