Global Research Priorities – International Development (GRP-ID)Networking Event

Wednesday 10 December, 12-2pm (Lunch provided)
Wolfson Research Exchange, floor3 library extension

We would like to invite all researchers interested in the field of International Development to exchange their current or planned research projects or ideas.

The event is aiming to bring together researchers from different disciplines across the university in an informal setting, to get to know each other and to exchange their stance on International Development.

We would like to offer you the opportunity to briefly introduce your research, be it a current project or a fledgling idea, and to discuss it with colleagues. Please indicate when registering whether you would like to take up this opportunity – we are thinking about at a 3-5 minute ‘taster’ presentation, no posters or power points are required.

The taster-presentations are followed by informal discussion time to give you the chance to exchange with colleagues and develop a deeper understanding of the work currently undertaken in the GRP ID.
