This year, the Graduate and Researcher College (GRC) collaborated with the Division of Arts and Humanities, the Division of Computing, Engineering and Mathematical Sciences, Kent Business School and the Division of Natural Sciences to celebrate our postgraduate researcher community.<\/p>\n
The day kicked off with research talks,\u00a0 panel discussions, poster presentations, interactive sessions and divisional Q&As. We were then also joined by Kent Union, The Brilliant Club, Library Services, Careers Services, and Student Support and Wellbeing. After enjoying a Kentish buffet lunch students and staff mingled and networked, before heading off to more talks, panels, presentations and sessions.<\/p>\n
