What is the event about?

Professor Will Harvey as Associate Dean for Research is hosting a Research and Impact focus day in partnership with Research Services and the Innovation, Impact and Business teams. The objectives of the meeting are to:

  • Learn more about the School’s Research Strategy.

  • Opportunities to meet and discuss future research funding opportunities. 

We would like to encourage you to all attend the first session for a snappy overview of the School’s research strategy, current research and training opportunities and the support available to bid for these. We are then hosting a series of breakout sessions which we would like you to book on to help with planning, These focused sessions are designed to be two-way discussions to ensure participants gain maximum benefit from them.
