Festival of Postgraduate Research 2024
We came together on Thursday 23rd May 2024 in person at The Slate and online for a fascinating day on Warwick postgraduate research.
The day included interactive talks on topics such as 'Overcoming challenges during your PhD' and 'Finding joy in your research'.
It also included PGRs showcasing their own research either in 3-minute talks or in a range of traditional and non-traditional formats.
It was an excellent opportunity for our PGR community to come together.
Recordings of all the sessions can be found below including the recording of the whole event.
Thank you to all who contributed and attended this wonderful event!
