In this update we would like to introduce the inaugural 3 Minute Thesis (3MT®) event, R.E.D talks, the Researcher Development Programme for 2017-18 (January to July sessions now bookable), and the 10th Annual Postgraduate Conference.
We are very happy to announce that our Keynote Speaker for the 10th Annual Postgraduate Conference is Professor Lee Miles from the BU’s Disaster Management Centre.
