The postgraduate research café provides an opportunity for you to showcase your research in an informal setting and network with researchers from a variety of disciplines.

The Graduate School runs the café on the second Wednesday of each month. Each themed café will feature two 20 minute talks from postgraduate researchers from different disciplines, with a chance for questions, debate and networking over tea and coffee.

This relaxed event aims to bring postgraduates together, foster cross-disciplinary networks, and provide a supportive context for research discussion. To contribute, or for more information contact Dr Tracey Crowther, Postgraduate Development Advisor.

Next Café: Our next meeting will be on Wednesday 11 February between 1-3 in the Peter Brown room (The Missing Link, behind Darwin College) on the Canterbury campus with talks on ‘Water Gels for Cell Culture and Drug Delivery’ and ‘Can Film do Philosophy?’
