The Research Student Seminar Series gives SSEES PhD students the opportunity to present their work to fellow researchers and the general public in an informal setting.
Each 20-30 minute presentation is followed by a Q&A session, which allows presenters to gain feedback from people with a range of disciplinary backgrounds and areas of expertise.
In-person seminars are customarily followed by a more informal discussion over drinks and snacks. All seminars are open to everyone to attend. Registration is free but mandatory.
Day/Time: Thursdays 5pm
Venue: Bloomsbury campus
