On 11th September 2024, department of Marketing, Strategy and Innovation (BUBS) launched the Research Connect Seminar Series, a monthly event aimed at providing a supportive space for academics and PGRs to share their research and receive constructive feedback. The series is designed to help PGRs build confidence in presenting their work while encouraging collaboration among researchers.
The one hour long seminar format includes two presentations—one by a staff member and one by a PGR—each followed by a discussion. In the first session, Tim Gale presented his research on tourism, and Mukeh Kenneth shared his study on disaster risk governance in Sierra Leone.
The series will continue in the academic year until May 2025, offering a great opportunity for MSI staff and PGRs to engage, present, and collaborate.
