This year was the first year in which a training event has been offered
to PhD. students at the end of the UTSG conference in Newcastle. The
event was well attended and received positive feedback. It is the
intention to run another training event at the 2005 conference.
The Executive Committee would welcome views, particularly from PhD.
students that might take part in such training events, as to whether
there is a demand for a mid-year training event (would be 2005) on
similar topics (e.g. writing up a PhD., the viva process, writing up for
publications in transport). I would be grateful if you could send any
views you have on this additional option to me direct
([log in to unmask]) stating whether:
1) This would be useful and additional to any training you already
receive at your host institution
2) You would be able to cover costs of getting to such a day event
3) What sort of topics you would most value
Responses please by 20th May
