Education Studies

Launch event

The 'Mitigation and Adjustment for Doctoral Education' project (MADE) is hosting an online launch event (on TEAMS) on 28th February 2025, from 12-1pm UK time to share the project's findings and make the project report publicly available. To register your interest for this event, please complete the form below.

About: this online event will formally launch the final project report for the MADE project. The event will provide an overview of the work undertaken, findings, and recommendations from the project which was conducted in 2023–2024 within the Doctoral Education and Academia Research Centre (DEAR) at the University of Warwick (UoW). The project emerged from consultation with the UoW Doctoral College, which also collaborated in developing and guiding the project. The project focused on reasonable adjustments and mitigating circumstances for doctoral education, in recognition of the fact that these are two interlinked but distinct areas of HE policy and practice which are vital to ensuring equitable and inclusive access to and participation in doctoral education. At the same time, Postgraduate Research (PGR) students can fall through the cracks of institutional policies, processes, and practices that have often been developed with undergraduate (UG) and Postgraduate Taught (PGT) students in mind. The project has produced a range of recommendations for change.

Audience: This event will be relevant for colleagues in the sector who work closely with PGR students, including disabled PGRs, and managing mitigating circumstances in relation to doctoral assessment.

Accessibility: the event will be on MS Teams with automatic captioning. Information will be shared with both oral and visual presentation (copies of slides to be provided). Please provide details of any specific requirements you may have when registering in the form below (or note if you would like to discuss these further with the team).

Recording: The event will be recorded to share with colleagues who could not make it live.

If you have any questions please contact Dr James Burford james.burford@warwick.ac.uk
