This event is held in conjunction with the Research Office and Assistant Deans (International and Research).
The aim of this event is to give you the opportunity to meet with potential collaborators from other disciplines and faculties and explore potential collaborations. By the end of the event you will have heard about others’ research areas, the inter disciplinary collaborations they are seeking, presented your area of research and had the opportunity to network with others to explore any potential interests further.
This event is intended as an opportunity to explore potential areas of common interest – even if they are not immediately apparent. This is for all academic and research staff, or those who support research projects. You never know where the next opportunity will come from!
