If you are unable to attend this event but would be interested in attending a future networking event please register your interest here.
We are delighted to welcome you to our first networking event for PhD pre-applicants. Over the past 2 years, over 200 people have taken part in YCEDE Outreach Webinars, Research Internships and the Advocacy Scheme. Participants have repeatedly asked for more opportunities to meet and talk to each other and share their experiences of navigating the PhD application process.
This event will take place on Zoom. There will be some activities to help introduce each other and see where people are on their PhD journey. Whether you are ready to (re)apply or have just had the thought of doing a PhD – everyone is welcome!
You will also get the chance to meet current PhD students from a variety of research areas and hear how they have found approaching supervisors, applying for projects and funding and studying a PhD in one of our 5 partner universities.
As well as giving you the opportunity to talk to current PhD students from a variety of research areas and each other in the session and in breakout rooms , you will interact with each other via Padlet, the microblogging website, the Student Research Network on LinkedIn.
Attendees are encouraged to stay in touch with each other after the event, and we hope to welcome you back to more events in the coming months, online and in person depending on demand.
